The day began in a flurry of unpleasantness for Ben. He missed his bus, forgot his homework, and failed a pop quiz. The very fabric of his existence felt frayed and unraveling.

He was on his way home from school, and checked his phone. His science teacher, Mrs. Lee, was following him on Twitter. He'd posted a scathing review of the experiment they'd done in class that day.

His pulse quickened. He felt a wave of coldness wash over him. He clenched his jaw. He wanted to scream. This day just kept getting worse.
