I’m sitting in the Amanda chair, gazing out into the swirling soup. It’s thicker than ever. It almost looks angry. If the POD commander stood two inches from the glass, I wouldn’t be able to see him—or her. The grayness is so complete that I have to wonder, is anything left? Are all the fences and playground slides and porta-potties and road signs dissolved and we’re the last people in the last man-made structure on the planet, a planet soon to be renamed POD II?

Dad, still unnerved about my “encounter” yesterday, is checking up on me every fifteen minutes or so. The binoculars are in my lap. It’s a Dad decoy. I have no hope of seeing Amanda, or anything else beyond the window. All I’m really doing is trying to figure out what’s going on. I’ve had no more episodes since this morning. I suppose that’s a good thing. I’ve come close to telling Dad about it, but at the last second a voice in my head says that it’s probably not a good idea. So I hold off for now. But if I were to tell him, I would have only one thing to say.

Of all the stupid stuff I’ve done or said since the PODs arrived, reaching out into that fog ranks number one—by a mile.
