Wake up, sleepyhead!

The pyramid was the coolest circus trick yet. They practiced it over and over. Charles put on a thick sweatshirt so that David’s knees wouldn’t stick into him so badly. Sammy made up a whole speech about the Amaaaazing, One-of-a-Kind, Never-Before-Seen Human Pyramid Topped by a Poodle! And David kept coming up with ideas to make the pyramid better and better.

They were trying one out, with David standing on their backs, one foot on Charles and one foot on Sammy. He had just called Sweetie to see if she would jump into his arms, when the door at the top of the stairs popped open.

“It’s a little too quiet down there.” David’s mother started down the stairs, a dish towel in her hand. “What are you boys up to?”

But before she made it down far enough to see them, something else happened. Charles saw a flash of brown on the stairs near her feet. He heard a startled yowl. Slinky! The cat’s curiosity must have gotten the better of her. Sweetie took off toward the stairs, chasing madly after the terrified cat.

“Whoaaa,” David cried as he lost his balance. He fell backward, and Charles heard a dull clunk.

When Charles jumped up and turned around, he saw David lying on the floor near the treadmill, holding his head in his hands. “Oww!” wailed David as his mother rushed down the last few steps.

“Are you okay, honey?” she cried.

David reached out for her. “Mom!”

Then Charles saw the blood.
