Amy and I exchanged troubled glances. Then she grabbed the door and yanked it open.

Brad burst into the room, his eyes wide with horror. “Help us!” he cried. “Hurry!”

I saw David with Gus and Frankie behind him. And then I saw Travis.

Travis had both hands pressed over his eyes, as if blindfolding himself. Bright-red blood poured down his face.

“Are your parents home? We’ve got to get help!” David wailed.

“No! What happened?” Amy gasped.

“We—we had a big snake,” Brad stammered, breathing hard. “It got away. Travis—he chased after it. He was running and … and he tripped and fell.”

“Travis poked his eye out!” David cried.

“Ohhhhh.” Travis uttered a low groan.

Slowly, he lowered his right hand. Opened it.

And I gaped at the big, watery eyeball in his blood-smeared palm.

“Help me,” Travis groaned. “Ohhhh, it hurts. It hurts so much!”

“Call a doctor!” David cried. “Call an ambulance!”

“Help … ohhh … help …,” Travis moaned.

I felt my stomach lurch. I clapped a hand over my mouth to keep my dinner from coming up.

Amy let out a sick cry.

I stared at the wet, veiny eyeball. I couldn’t stop staring at it.

“It hurts …,” Travis moaned again. “Please … do something.”

I stared at the eyeball for another second.

And then I rushed forward. Plucked the eyeball from Travis’s hand.

And popped it into my mouth.

Amy shrieked in horror.

Brad let out a startled cry. David and the others gasped.

I turned to Travis and rolled the eyeball slowly from side to side in my mouth.

Travis started to laugh. He lowered his other hand from over his eyes.

I poked the eyeball through my lips.

Everyone was laughing now.

I spit the eyeball into my hand and tossed it to Travis. “Very real-looking,” I said. “I saw these plastic eyes in the same card store you did. A Halloween display—right?”

“Right.” Brad sighed.

Travis turned to Amy. “Got any paper towels? I have to wipe this fake blood off. It’s dripping all over.”

Amy ran to the kitchen and returned with a wad of paper towels. “Craig wasn’t scared for a second,” she told Travis. “Was that your second challenge? You’ll have to do a lot better than that.”

She stuck out her hand. “You owe us sixty bucks, guys. Pay up.”

Travis tossed the plastic eyeball to her. It hit her on the shoulder and bounced to the floor.

“That wasn’t our dare,” Brad insisted. “It was just a joke. We just wanted to see Can-Can-Can-Craig lose his dinner.”

“Well, he didn’t—did he!” Amy sneered.

I shuddered. If I hadn’t seen those eyeballs in the store window yesterday, my dinner would have been all over Amy’s living room carpet.

How lucky could I get?

David picked up the eyeball and tossed it to Gus, who tossed it to Frankie. They started a game of eyeball catch across the living room.

Travis mopped the red liquid off his face. He balled up the paper towels and tossed them at me. “Think fast!”

David heaved the eyeball. It bounced off a lamp. The lamp shook but didn’t fall.

“Cut it out, guys!” Amy ordered. “My parents will be home any minute.
