“Anybody with a phone can battle and imprison you forever.” “Well I would like very much for that not to happen to me.” “Right, so you need to avoid people who are playing the game.” “How do I know if someone’s playing the game?” “Well, for example, if they’re walking while staring at their”

“Well as long as you’re in the game, you should figure out your special ability.” “I don’t think I have a special ability.” “Sure you do! Every Wild Thing has a special ability. Like there’s one that can call down lightning, there’s one that has poison burps, one that does tornadoes.” “I don’t think I can do any of those things.” “Well, you can probably do something. You should try figuring it out. While you’re at it, maybe you could sneak into the cafeteria and let me know what’s for dessert today.” “I’m not doing that.” “Fine, but if you happen to see a Golden Hawkwadoodle…” “Just go to class.” Eric gave me a thumbs up and put his phone in his pocket.

Jevvrey had added a few things since I’d last seen it. For one, he was sitting on a swivel chair in front of a six-foot-tall black rectangle in the middle of the room. It looked like one of those supercomputers from the movies with switches and buttons and blinking lights all over it. The other thing was Mr. Gregory, sitting at his desk in front of a laptop, looking miserable. “I was hoping you’d make it in time,” Jevvrey said. “In time for what?” “We’re about to find out what happens at the end of the game!” Jevvrey took out his phone and tapped on the screen. “Mark?” Eric asked.
