Jon picked up the stone. "I wish things were back to normal," he said, hopefully. Nothing. "I wish I knew what was going on." Nothing. "I wish I knew where my mother was." Nothing.
He paused, considering the possibility he was stuck this way. No, he couldn't let that happen. He needed to figure out something else. He grabbed his bookbag. He needed to talk to Karyn.
He hurried out of the house, pausing only to see his sister Zoe talking...not fighting...with Sarah. That was a surprise. He was curious enough to want to know what was going on, but he had more important things to do.
