The Mold

Well you committed yourself to stopping this thing and you will do just that, even if it is with the body of a child not even old enough to attend kindergarten. You notice a tall young woman who seems to be the caretaker watching over the children. You decide that you can use her to extract some information about yourself before you proceed any further. You walk over to the woman and pull on her pant leg and say "more juice" hoping this will elicit a response.

She puts down the toddler she was holding in her arms and replies, "Eugene you need to learn to use your manners. What is the magic word?"

You reply "please."

She smiles warmly and says in a slow animated voice suggestion that she perceives a level of mental incompetence in her audience, "Very good Eugene. Remember that in the fall in kin-der-gar-ten you will need to remember things like using proper manners. I'll go get you another juice box right now. Is that apple juice?"

You think to yourself, "Like she can't see the big red apple on the box" but simply reply with a meek yes. She takes the empty box out of your hand and temporarily leaves the room. You have learned much from this encounter. First and foremost you have learned that your name is Eugene. Secondly you have learned that you are going to be attending kindergarten in the fall. Judging by the hum of the air conditioner you can guess that it is summer time and that you are therefore most likely five years old. Now you need to take this opportunity to leave the nursery school and start gathering information about the mold monster. You can bolt for the front door or take a moment to scope things out. Which do you decide to do?
