Happy Thanksgiving, everyone. I went to Grandpa and J's house on Thursday. Some of J's relatives were there, too. J's granddaughter, D, played cards with me. She's eighteen.

“Us? Who’s us? Where are you, honey?”
“Oh, I’m with this other girl named Hannah. Okay mom. I’m in this tiny locked up cabin in the middle of the w-
Gwen looked at her cherry red cell phone. On the little tiny box at the top, it read ‘Dead Battery’.
I hope your pants fit now. Very nice writing.
