Maybe mom even tried to find the cure when she came of age too and failed--and the journey can only be made once 'the change' starts.<br /><br />Dad knows that a hospital won't help. (Here's where you can plan with the time line a bit) Maybe Mom becomes contagious in five days. Anyone she exposes to her contagions will also collapse and it'll spread. So Dad has to hide her, for the safety of others.So he really has taken her.<br /><br />"But what if I'm not back in time, Dad?"<br />He wouldn't look at me. "Do you remember grandma?"<br /><br />Too dark?ikmarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09211122590810154080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3615675676021392217.post-31324934276024607862015-03-25T16:49:03.487-04:002015-03-25T16:49:03.487-04:00This would be cool.

Usually kids do the "tell adults that they are at other kid's house". Except they aren't.

Who is taking care of her? An elderly neighbor (sleepy, easy to fool) or a teenage babysitter (iPod, phone)? Is Holland at home? Does she go to school? Could she wait until dark?

Maybe this is where Holland finds out she can shrink really tiny, or her pink hair can turn her invisible, or she can communicate with flies who can swarm the adults as a distraction.
