SCAREDY-CAT
Silas wasn’t sure how his life could get any worse.
It was the first day of summer break. Most kids were thrilled for three
months of no school, zero homework, sleeping late, loads of free time, and
perpetual sunshine, although that wasn’t unusual in his hometown of
Orlando, where it was warm and sunny all year round.
But not Silas…he was miserable.
He cracked his eyes open to bright sunlight and clear blue skies outside
his window—typical Florida weather. The vertical blinds flapped lazily in
the draft siphoned from the air vents, casting bars of light around his
bedroom. It felt more like a prison.
He badly wished the yellow bus would come careening down his culde-sac and break him out of his house, taking him to school. But it was
summer, and that wasn’t going to happen.
Silas sighed and turned his gaze back to his room. Though it was humid
and sweltering outside, his room was chilled down to a perfect seventy-two
degrees, thanks to the air-conditioning’s constant blasting.
Despite the beautiful, bright day, his heart still thumped from a horrible
nightmare. He tried to remember it. All he knew was that he’d been falling
and falling, overwhelmed by that terrible feeling where the floor drops out
from under you and your stomach—
And then his memory went black.
Sweat stains soaked his sheets and pillow. Fear gripped him, along with
that terrifying falling sensation. It took him a moment to calm his breathing
and come back to reality.
I’m okay…it was only a dream…nothing to be afraid of…
Silas tried to focus on his surroundings and wake up fully. Library
books weighed down his Buzz Lightyear bedspread, a relic from when he
was still in elementary school. He didn’t even watch those kiddie movies
anymore, but his parents refused to waste money on replacing things that
“worked perfectly well.”
He rubbed his tired eyes and sat up in bed, trying to push the sleep from
them. When he cracked them back open, he startled as they fell on—
A ferocious lion snarling at him.
His heart thumped. This was just like his terrifying nightmare the
previous night. He didn’t have to wonder what triggered it. The culprits lay
right in front of him.
The library books.
One stared back at him with a thick-maned, regal-looking lion on the
glossy cover. It was a nonfiction book called The King of the Beasts. As
usual, he had stayed up way past his bedtime reading. He never meant to,
but books had magical powers—which was the only explanation—that
sucked him into their pages and wouldn’t let go, until he nodded off with
them cracked open in his lap.
