Clocks And Robbers (2011)
“He wondered if the feeling was from all the stories he and his friends had been sharing. Why did people treat one another this way? Did these bizarre things happen everywhere? Had the Question Marks raised so many questions about their town simply because they’d been looking for them? Or was there something wrong with Moon Hollow?
Take Bill for instance—Woodrow’s constant question mark. Every time the man visited, he tried to one-up himself with kindness. Earlier that week, Bill had given Woodr...ow a pen that read One Cent Savings and Trust—the bank where he worked. What kind of person would want to save only one cent? Why would you trust someone like that? And what kind of a lame gift was a pen, anyway?
A noise came from outside. Chck! Woodrow held still. It came again—a jarring, scraping sound in the backyard. Chck! Chck! He leaned toward his window and pulled back the curtain. To his surprise, he found someone standing on the lawn—right at the Four Corners.
It was difficult to make out any details.MoreLess
