Up: Game 2  Up: Game 2 Outline

Dinnertime

"Um, I have some food," you manage to say. The little boy smiles and trots closer, eager for you to lead the way. You realize that you could get in trouble for taking the child anywhere, but at the same time, you are more fearful of being hurt than of breaking the law. Owing to both your fear and a sense of obligation, you unlock the front door and lead the child into your kitchen.

"I have some roast beef," you say, showing the little boy the contents of your freezer. He smiles, and his eyes nearly glow with excitement. You cook the roast beef until it just is beginning to brown. "Is that enough?" you ask, and the child nods. You set the roast beef on a plate before him and marvel as his teeth grow longer in the twinkling of an eye. He wolfs down the meat in a single bite.
