Wow, three bottles of Listerine. You tear off all three pieces of tamper-proof plastic and take off the caps. This is a coup! You finally get to get Flanagan back for the time he dangled you upside down from a basement window and told people he dangled you from the roof. And you finally get to have fresher breath than him.

Boom, you chug the first one.

Boom, there goes the second.

Oh wow, you can hardly move your arm. It is all rubbery and has an extra finger. You go to count the fingers on your other hand but it feels like a dog's paw. You think about sitting on that bench over there but before you get there you go down in a heap next to Flanagan.

Somehow you reawaken. You're someplace else now. Go figure.
