“Two chutes open,” mumbles Fred in his sleep. “Three. Come on, come on, the rest of you guys!”

“Fred,” says Peggy, leaning over him. 

“Get out!” yells Fred. 

“Fred, wake up!” says Peggy. 

“Gadorsky! Gadorsky!” yells Fred.

“Wake up!”  says Peggy

:She’s burning up! Get out! Get out!” yells Fred. 

“Fred! Fred, wake up!” says Peggy

“She’s burning up!” yells Fred. She’s gonna hit! Look out!”

Peggy puts her hand over Fred’s eyes. 

“It’s all right, Fred,” says Peggy. “Go back to sleep.” Peggy pushes down on Fred’s shoulders. “Go back to sleep,” she repeats. “Go back to sleep, Fred.”

Fred is crying in his sleep. 

“There’s nothing to be afraid of,” says Peggy.  “All you have to do is – –  go to sleep and rest.”

Peggy  rubs Fred’s forehead. “Go to sleep,” says Peggy. “Go to sleep, Fred. Go to sleep and rest. Go to sleep, Fred.”
