Snowflake shrugged as if to say, “Believe what you want.” Prompted by questions, she told Silverwind and Geraint that she knew none of the missing women, nor did she know anyone who claimed they did.

Hello earth

Mikey CONTINUES to move forward. The boys FOLLOW. They are now a little SHAKEN. Eyes DARTING back arid forth. A bit more cautious. They arrive at the front of the building.

I rarely get cake for my birthday.

Mouth peers through the filthy FRONT DOOR windows. Mikey and Data walk to the side of the building. They try to LOOK into the windows. TOO HIGH. The boys spot a PILE of discarded ORANGE CRATES. They stand the orange crates on end. Climbing up onto them.
