I wanna go home. I wanna go home. I wanna go h-""Shut up!" Shane burst out.Tommy shut up and lapsed into a trembling silence, thrust once more into <strong>the</strong> real<strong>is</strong>ation that he wasdrenched through and hungry and a million universes from home, a home which he was now almostdefinitely never going to see again.They sat <strong>the</strong>re in uncomfortable silence ba<strong>the</strong>d in dark red light, still dripping water that pooled at <strong>the</strong>irfeet, <strong>the</strong> air heavy with unspoken guilt-"We could have gotten out sooner," Shane said quietly.
