The tortured rending of metal finally gave way as the last segments of the steel roof were torn asunder, sending lethal fragments falling to the floor... ‘I told you they would be here Sinistaur!’ The spotlights faded away, being replaced by two sets of blood-red optics looking down at the scurrying figures.

The school closed after all classes on Tuesday of Thanksgiving week and wouldn’t reopen until Monday morning afterwards. That left me with a major dilemma. The dining hall would close from Tuesday after dinner until Sunday after lunch. If I were already a Kegger, I could eat there, but we hadn’t been officially rushed yet. I was going to be eating out for several days. I had already mentioned the problem to Jim Easton and Mark Malloy. I couldn’t move in, of course, but I was invited to eat. I was left lying there wonderinghow to react.It didn't take very long before the light started to fade and I realisedthat it was getting quite late in the evening. It was bound to getcooler fairly quickly. I had to do something or get very cold.More immediately, what did I do about little Henry? Did I take the riskof releasing him or was the thought of the undefined punishment morethan I cared to think about?Discretion was the answer at this stage.
