“And she puts her hand down and her dog licks it and she thinks everything is okay. Except that then, in the morning, when she looks in the bathtub, her dog is in there and he’s dead and there’s lots of blood and somebody has written HA HA I REALLY FOOLED YOU with the blood.”

“One time my sister was babysitting and this weird guy called and wanted to know if Satan was there and she got really freaked out.”

“One time my grandfather was riding on a train and he saw a naked woman standing out in a field.”

“Was she a ghost?”

“I don’t know. He used to like to tell that story a lot.”

“Were there cows in the field?”

“I don’t know, how should I know if there were cows?”

“Do you think Terence is going to come back soon?”

“Why? Are you scared?”

“What time is it?”

“It’s not even ten thirty. Maybe we could try lighting the fire again.”

“It’s still too wet. It’s not going to catch. Besides, if there was a monster and if the monster was out there and we got the fire lit, then the monster could see us.”

“Leave James alone,” Bryan Jones said.

“I had this weird dream last year,” Danny Anderson said. Danny Anderson was from Terre Haute, Indiana. He was taller than anyone else in Bungalow 6 except for Terence. “I dreamed that I came home from school one day and nobody was there except this man. He was sitting in the living room watching TV and so I said, ‘Who are you? What are you doing here?’ And he looked up and smiled this creepy smile at me and he said, ‘Hey, Danny, I’m Angelina Jolie. I’m your new dad.’”

“No way. You dreamed your dad was Angelina Jolie?”

“No,” Danny Anderson said. “Shut up. My parents aren’t divorced or anything. My dad’s got the same name as me. This guy said he was my new dad. He said he was Angelina Jolie. But he was just some guy.”

“That’s a dumb dream.”

“I know it is,” Danny Anderson said. “But I kept having it, like, every night. This guy is always hanging out in the kitchen and talking to me about what we’re going to do now that I’m his kid. He’s really creepy. And the thing is, I
