CHAPTER 1 The Office, the String, and the Question “Truth or Dare,” Philip said.  It was night in Chester Brook, the lines of suburban homes dotted in the hazy rain. Ink was blotched heavily in the sprawling sky. The scattered stars hidden by the urban smog from the city. I sat cross-legged on the floor, carpet fur nipping my ankles. The roar of rain surrounded me, a symphony of thunder and water. “Dare,” I said, nonchalantly. Philip drummed his fingers in thought. “You’re no

It’s a warm and sunny day, and I’m feeling confident. Well, I'm pretty confident for my first day at a new school, at least.
