Gone - Chapter Three

298 Hours, 5 Minutes

Switch back to Sam, Quinn and Astrid to create SUSPENSE! They meet some other kids who have no purpose in life now that their parents are gone. Sam tells the kids to eat a cookie then head for the plaza.

They go to Sam's house (Sam's dad has been out of Sam's life for years. FAMILY TRAUMA) and of course his mother isn't there. But he's hiding something from Astrid? Is it a shrine to her OMG

""Sometimes impossible things happen," Sam said. "No, they don't," Astrid argued. "The universe has laws. All the stuff we learn in science class. You know, like the laws of motion, or that nothing can go as fast as the speed of light. Or gravity. Impossible things don't happen. That’s what impossible means." Astrid bit her lip. "Sorry. It's not really the time for me to be lecturing, is it?""

It's ALWAYS lecture time with Astrid.

Okay, Sam just has a weird glowing light into his closet. This reminds of the windows in the air in His Dark Materials (best series ever, btw). So THAT'S why the book has focused on Sam; he already has a connection to impossible things.

OMG SAM'S MUM'S DIARY IS SO MYSTERIOUS AND THE CHAPTER JUST ENDED ZOMGGGG
