"Bad things don't happen when there's nobody around. Well, THERE'S NOBODY AROUND. And WE CAN'T GET OUT."

I think that's supposed to be either "bad things don't happen when there's somebody around" or "bad things happen when there's nobody around."

I wasn't serious before about Dill powering up again with the moon rock, but I'm starting to think it's not such a bad idea after all.

“I am the police,”

Dude, this guard is the coolest doomed guy ever. You can tell he's been waiting for years to pull that line. I'm glad he did it before the end.

Ensisp = The act of checking just how cold a piece of metal is on a cold day. The answer is always 'way more than you expect'.

Also, “I don’t think there’s any use to run.” should maybe be “I don’t think there’s any use *in running*” or “I don’t think *it’s* any use to run”

Only Peter and Dill could go on a normal, safe, standard school trip to a museum and somehow end up locked in alone with the power off and some sort of monster on the loose... Wolfman vs The Mummy here we go! (I still think the sharks have escaped from the exhibit and the thuds were them trying to move on dry land lol).


WV: gogicide. The heinous crime of endig the existence of gogis, those imaginary little spirits that influence people's dreams.

Wow the poor guy might not make it two chapters, sounds like he is a goner now. And yep it is time to get the cops there.

The sharks would be cool, more so if they kind of swam thru the air. Now that would be really scary.

I think this might be a first for Gwen, she only saw the aftermath of the last ones she was involved in. Now she gets to see the creature from the start. I remember she was pissed off when she missed the yeti.

I almost wonder if Dill activated the curse simply by pointing out the situation...

Todd -
Good catch.

Just you wait about the moon rock. Just...you...wait.

Rubberduck -
Heck yes he is. I've been thinking that maybe I should make him young and buff in the rewrite, because that fits his overall, B-movie arrogance level more.

Cat -
Hmmmm...okay, I'll go with 'it's any use.' Good call.

You have a fan of the sharks idea, by the way. Read on...

daymon34 -
Airsharks!

Hmmmm...that actually IS really disturbing...maybe in a future story...

AnakMoon -
Like a Murphy's Law version of the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle! Just by observing a situation, you change it for the WORSE! Or by observing the potential for bad, you CAUSE it!

==========
To anybody interested, I misquoted Dill in my response to Todd, so I just removed the quote. That's why the "removed by administrator." Not that I had a Gollum moment, put in a comment, and then said, "Nooooo, nasssssty hobbitssssss!" and deleted it.
