Jason pinched his nose and swallowed the drink in one gulp. Then he fed Tim his share. The with doctor brought out a small pig skin drum and started playing it with a eucalyptus stick. The beat knocked Jason into a trance. He felt heavier and heavier and heavier until he couldn’t move. His vision tunneled as the dark of night seeped into his mind. The eucalyptus stick lay at the end. It was talking, telling him to go to sleep. Jason obeyed and fell into a dream. There were papyrus leaves everywhere. Seth Hollow was writing all over them.

After what seemed like hours (nobody could tell), the medicine man tapped Jason awake with the stick. Outside the sun had come up. He was relieved to see Tim walking around.

“Tim. Tim. You’re okay.”

“Pfaaaaaaf”
