The Book of Jeremy

It was cold outside,but sunny. Jeremy knew he had to clean his room before he could invite a friend over. He purposefully zipped through his chores, quickly shoving everything he could into the closet. Then he asked his mom if Thomas could come over. She almost fainted when she saw the tidy room. Mom was busy and didn't check the closet, score! He gave himself a thumbs up. Thomas would be here in half an hour and he had things to check out before he arrived. Jeremy opened up the browser on his computer and typed in “singularity”.

He was still listening to a video clip when Thomas arrived holding a basketball.

“Hey, what are you doing? Days like this are made for basketball.”

“I think I may have connected some dots.” Jeremy turned to Thomas, “Come and see.”

“You look upset, man, what’s up?”

Jeremy motioned to the screen and his list. “I have been noticing more things happening and so I wanted to check out the rest of the dream things. Just give me a minute. We’ll play some ball but first I have to tell someone before I go nuts.” Under his breath he adderd, “Maybe I already did.”
