“Don’t want eggs. I wanna go trick-or-treating,” it said, folding its arms.

“Honey, you’re too sick to go out,” said the mom. “I know it’s disappointing…”

“I wanna GO!”

Come to think of it, it kinda sounded like his seven-year-old cousin too.

“Honey—”

“I WANNA!”

Fortunately a full-blown tantrum was broken off by a coughing fit. It was a bad cough too, the kind that had bubbly snotty stuff in it.

Danny tried to see if he could move around without a body. He thought he managed to wobble back and forth a bit, but it was hard to tell.

He wondered what the people below him would see if they looked up—a ghostly dragon hanging around the ceiling? Nothing at all?

“I like trick-or-treating,” said the little kid. “I hate eggs. You’re mean.”

“I know it seems mean,” said the mom, “but you’re sick. Next year you can go out. Won’t that be fun?”

She bustled around the bed, tucking something in alongside the kid. Danny caught the gleam of familiar button eyes.

“Don’t wanna go next year…” said the little kid, hugging the stuffed animal. “Wanna go now…”

The scene was fading. Danny had a sense that there was something important here, something he was supposed to remember, and he tried to grab for it, but it was like having a dream and waking up and trying to remember—

—and then he was back in the basement, staring into the dusty eye of the stuffed animal.

“Whoa!” he said. He patted himself down—yup, that was his body, all right, and he seemed to be back in it. “That was awesome! Did I just have an out-of-body experience?”

The rat spread its paws and shrugged.

“I gotta tell Wendell!”
