34.

I WAKE UP SEVERAL MINUTES before my alarm is set to squawk.

Normally, I’d turn over and get a little more sleep.

But there’s no way I’m doing that—not with John Henry the Cumulonimbus hanging out in my dreams.

So I get up, get dressed, and head to my desk to get my school stuff. I’m reaching for my notebook when I see it:

The data-eater.

The sight of the gadget fills me with all sorts of uncomfortable, conflicting feelings. I don’t know what to do with the thing. For whatever reason, I don’t really feel like flushing it down the toilet or tossing it in the trash anymore. But at the same time, I don’t want it sitting in my room.

I stick the gadget into my pocket, figuring I can think about what to do with it on my way to school—right after I think about where I’m going to eat lunch that day, since I’m pretty sure it won’t be in the room I regularly eat along with the rest of the EngiNerds. Then I sling my backpack over my shoulder and head for the door. But halfway there, something in the window catches my eye.

I turn and look—and look and look.

But all the looking in the world won’t help me make sense of what I’m seeing.

Snow.

And a whole lot of it.

My lawn, the street, the roofs of all the neighbors’ houses—all of them are covered in the stuff.

Overnight, the world has been made smooth, bright, and sparkling white.

It’s almost summer.

But outside it’s a winter wonderland.
