Chapter One
Philip, what is wrong with you? Can’t you hear me? Come down here right now and clean up this mess you made.
Philip sat at the desk in his bedroom and clearly heard his mother downstairs calling for him. He’d heard her the first time. He’d heard her the second time. But now, the third time, he heard something different in her voice. He’d known this change was coming, and he knew it meant trouble. He also knew he’d better answer.
Did you call me, Mom?
Philip shouted.
"Did I call you? Did I call you?" He heard his mother step briskly to the bottom of the stairs. I’ve been calling you for the past five minutes. Do you have your door closed?
Philip made a face. He didn’t have his door closed. He hadn’t thought of that. Next time he’d try it.
Come down here and clean up after yourself.
It was a rainy Saturday, and Philip had little to do. His best friend Emery, who lived down the street, was out with his family visiting an aunt. Mrs. Moriarty, his favorite neighbor, had a cold and told him he might catch it if he came over to visit her. She had lots of great movies she’d bought so he and his friends would come over and keep her company, and she always had a big dish filled with candy sitting on her coffee table. To Philip’s eyes, she looked very old, so he guessed that was why she didn’t go out much. Philip always felt he’d done a good deed when he visited her—the kind of good deed he didn’t mind doing—one filled with chocolate. He and his friend Emery were interested in video games and computer stuff, but what could ever take the place of chocolate? Nothing Philip could think of.
Anyway, it was a rainy Saturday, and Philip felt bored. His mother had made lunch for him—Chef Boyardee’s Ravioli, and he’d left his bowl on the kitchen table. His mother was trying hard to get him to clean up after himself. Philip, though, didn’t think much of the idea, and he’d left his bowl behind and went back upstairs, where he was in the middle of inventing a kind of baseball game using dice and his latest baseball cards.
Do you want me, Mom?
Philip called innocently.
Whoops, he thought when he heard his mother’s feet pounding up the steps. He tossed the white dice onto his bed and jumped from his desk chair. He met his mother at his bedroom door.
Oh hi, Mom. You didn’t have to come up for me. I’m coming down.
You’re coming down?
Lately, his mother repeated lots of things he said. He might say, What do you want, Mom?
and she’d answer, What do I want?
She did it so much that things were getting a little spooky, and Philip even wondered whether his mother was losing her hearing.
