What Could Possibly Go Wrong

Chapter 2

After grabbing the marble, Brandon raced out of the house. He clambered over the fence and showed Gary the marble. "Is that seriously all that you could grab?" said Gary while picking up the marble out of Brandon's palm. "How can I be sure you didn't take this out of your pocket when you got in the house?" pondered Gary.

"Yeah, so I went into the creepy house and thought it was prudent to not get anything, only take a marble out of my pocket and run out. That is the perfect plan," retorted Brandon, "Let's just get out of here ok? This place gives me the creeps."

As they were heading home Gary kept chastising Brandon about only being able to grab a marble. "Man, you are such a wuss," said Gary. After a while Brandon could not take the insults anymore.

"At least I was able to go into the house," said Brandon. This made Gary stop annoying Brandon for the rest of the walk to his house. Gary lived farther from the haunted estate, so he had to walk further.

Brandon snuck into his house and, putting the marble in his underwear drawer, promptly went to sleep.

He shouldn't have grabbed that marble.
