Chapter 12

And in case you are wondering, I didn't go there alone. I mean, who would, after all those terrifying experiences? I called CR and we went there together.

"Pick up as many branches as you can. We'll work together. Come on." I gave CR a slight push.

"Tell me again why we are doing this. Things in dreams don't always work in real life."

"Oooooh, when did you become a scientist, huh? I told you, this is the only hope we have. There's nothing else we could possibly do."

"Oh, alright. Stupid idea, but what else can we do if we have Coach Miky right here?" He teased.

"Oh shut up and start working."

Coach Miky was CR's favorite nickname for me, especially when I was being really stubborn about things.

We started picking up branches and in half an hour, we picked up exactly 1324 branches. And yes, we counted the exact number. Cool, huh?

Anyways after collecting all those branches, we set off for home. I dropped off CR at his house, said goodbye and drove on towards mine. I had most of the branches in the trunk of the car- I gave a few to CR to keep.

I was nearly home, I mean, it was just around the corner, when it happened.
