Wild Life (2011)
“In one his parents were being pursued by faceless bad guys in a strange land. In another, he raced about the prairie on four legs like Quill, amazed by his own speed and agility. In the last, his grandmother, frantic with worry about him, had called Mr. Poole, his elementary-school principal, to track him down. As Mr. Poole closed in on his hiding place, Erik became so anxious he felt sick—so very, very sick… He awoke then, clutching his stomach. A painful cramp seized him, followed by another.... He leaped to his feet and managed to walk a few steps before becoming ill. Sinking to his knees, he spewed the contents of his stomach onto the ground in a series of violent spasms. Lifting his head shakily, he felt the cramps moving lower and knew with dread that his illness was not going to be limited to vomiting.
Hours passed during which Erik was racked by fever and sickness. Finally, spent and exhausted, he lay faceup on his sleeping bag. Chills kept alternating with drenching sweats, and now he felt he was burning up.MoreLess
