The action in this book continues to rise. As todd and Manchee run on their way to this strange destination that Ben has sent them off to, I began to feel a connection to Todd. He thinks often like I do. He thinks that maybe the world is out to get him (in the sense that he is alone. The world is, in fact out to get him...) or that there is no hope anymore. I think that we as people often feel out of place or unwanted. And we often give up on ourselves. It is just part of our nature.
Todd and Manchee follow the map and are doing fine when Aaron (the Psycho preist) finds them and tries to kill, yes, kill Todd. Aaron gets eaten by an aligator (so we thought) and was taken out of the picture. Just when you think it couldn't get anymore fast paced, the silence, or "Hole in the noise," Appears again. Todd, not going to let it escape this time runs after it to kill it.
Now, Todd thinks that it is a spackle. A spackle is a kind of life form, aliens from the planet that Prentiss Town moved to. They started the war that ended up with a germ being released that killed all the women and most the men. They were supposed to be extinct.
So anyway, Todd is running to it, his heart pounding as this thing runs away from it.
Now by this point I have a million theory's going through my mind and my heart is pounding just as Todds was. But, When he gets to the hole...Its a girl. Thats right a girl. And he can't hear a sound out of her but her terrified breathing.
What a twist that was.
