Stephen fell off the couch as he dropped the tablet onto the table. If anyone had seen him, they would have thought he had seen a ghost. But what he saw was even more shocking and baffling than any ghost.
Slowly, Stephen reached for the tablet, his hand trembling uncontrollably. He gulped, tipping the tablet to read the article. Maybe he had just seen it wrong… or maybe not.
"Ah!" Stephen tossed the tablet away again, wide-eyed. "What… what in the world?!"
He gasped, instinctively covering his mouth. His dilated eyes shook as he tried to absorb this absurd information.
How could this happen?
What was going on?
What kind of insanity was this?!
A multitude of thoughts surged in his mind in a brief moment. When he finally recomposed himself, Stephen pulled himself back onto the couch. He gulped again, picking up the tablet—this time, with no intention of tossing it away.
