She collapsed again him and silently sobbed.

"She collapsed against him" makes more sense.

Todd -
Whoops! Thanks!

Also "ewww" had an n at the end.

I'm thinking I'm way overdoing the criticism for this story. You're allowed to stretch things a little, anyway.

Just one last comment: I can sort of see Dill behaving this way, but on the other hand, he's being very blasé about things that he would normally not want to talk about. I wonder what the court would've reacted if he had responded that he "didn't want to talk about it."

“No, I think that’s what you old people would call it,”

Zing! An honet chuckle elicited at this one. Good work!

So I guess Grandfather's plan is to show that they're too messed up in the head to have distinguished between a mummy and some random lunatic in, say, a straitjacket? So Gwen is now lonely and craving attention, Dill is a delusional...well, idjit, and Peter - I guess he's going to make Peter into a pychopath.

I think that's the loudest I have ever laughed while reading this.
Yeah, and I was wondering why he isn't saying "I don't wanna talk about it!"
Has Dill gotten over the fact that he's doomed to have monsters come after him now?

Um the Muse -
Haha! That's TRUE - that's totally going in the rewrite...

Rubberduck -
Yaaaaay! A theory! You win the "First Theory" prize!

Mina -
Awesome! Glad you laughed!

Yeah, I totally forgot about that part...

PS - Maybe Dill doesn't mind talking about the brownies as much because they were one of the least traumatizing creatures he's run up against. Probably the least, actually.
