Good thread!!! Bernie is a sweetheart!!! Such good!!!

The burly man was off, and while Screech was pleased to see him go, he didn't show it. A part of him was surprised by the fact he'd carried on a normal conversation like a normal person who only ever had normal things happen to them, because he felt all kinds of abnormal - but he let the moment slip away as he began to drift to sleep, and was unconcious within a few moments after that. Granted, the boy's slumber would be characterized by some strange dreams involving ghosts and ravens and probably a few portents of things to come - so it wouldn't be restful, and soon enough he'd be up and roaming for another haven within which to hide.
