He was always interested in competition that boosted his learning. He loved school, loved to study and excel, and was very adventurous. On the other hand, his friend Josh had great aspirations for life. From that day on they became friends, and were friends for two years right up to the night of the incident at Blackstone Cabin. At that instant, Thomas’ demeanor changed and Brian saw a glimpse of hope in his eyes. Furthermore, Thomas had no friends so Brian asked him if there was anything that he could do to help his family.

Carefully, he moved about in the dark, thinking about his friends, Josh and Thomas, sleeping upstairs in the loft. Gingerly moving about the room, he noticed that the fire in the fireplace smoldered as the cold, dark stillness in the room beckoned him to put more logs on the fire. Shaking and trembling, he sprang from the sofa, ran to check the windows and the doors to make sure they were locked. ![]() Brian, sleeping on the sofa, suddenly sat up gasping as the torrential rain splashed and pounded against the cabin windows.
