I looked around the Yard. Dusk had fallen and shadows were growing across the grass. The shack looked kinda scary now from where we were standing. Then, suddenly, a light went on inside the shack. 

“Bones, did you see that?” I squawked. “A light just went on inside the shack.” 

Bones, of course, was oblivious to it. “I wonder why Cal doesn’t know sign language,” he mused. “I wonder how he answers a question in class if he can’t talk.” 

A loud CRASH came from inside the shack. Then the lights went out, and we were swallowed up by the darkness.
