...frail-looking wooden chair, a boy sat watching them in silence. He wore blue jeans, a blue shirt, a brown vest, and glasses. His shaggy brown hair curled around his ears. The door to the room squeaked open just wide enough for the head of a girl to stick in. From beyond the door came some giggles, and then the distinct Cambridge twang of a high school student floated into the room, "Look, they're playing dead...
