as to your final comment ont he last entry "SPEED IT UP THEN!" I don't think any of us would mind :D
Poor Peter... I kind of question if his father drove off a cliff after leaving because that speech sounds an awful lot like a final goodbye speech, 'i loved my son so much i wanted to take him with me when i went just to hurt his mother' kind of stuff.
“I…I said I had to go to the bathroom, and could I get a candy bar, and he said yes…and then I went inside, and I went to bathroom, and I came out and got a candy bar, and…and…”
I went to the bathroom, maybe?
“No further questions, Your Honor,” he said quietly, and walked back to the defendants table.
Nah, I went to bathroom reads well to me... we've got a little boy remembering a traumatic event... it makes sense to me that he'd start talking in terms of things he said during the event.
PETER AND THE VAMPIRES is a horror/comedy web novel (and a free podcast!)about a normal, 10-year-old kid who moves into a sinister town filled with supernatural horribleness. The series is composed of different "monster of the week" stories - kind of like THE X-FILES crossed with THE SIMPSONS (if Mr. Burns were a ghoul and something terrifying lived in the town dump). "Peter And The Dead Men" is the first story in the collection. A new page is posted every day.

To the defendants' table?

Maybe Peter is actually from Yorkshire, where the definite article is banned by Crown law?
AnakMoon -
Haha! Well, we'll have to see about that...
See, I sped up the trial story by an extra page or two per day, and now you just want more!
Todd -
Good catches on both. Thanks!
Seaspray -
I wish I could say that it was an intentional usage, and thanks for defending me, but nope, I just messed up...
Rubberduck -
THAT'S IT!
I'm going to rewrite the whole Peter saga to take place in England so I can have Dill say "guv'nah" all the time.
"'Ey, wot's that, guv'nah?"
