Luckily for Andrew, despite all the stickiness and interesting eating habits (slugs) Alec had been a fairly healthy child. He got the chicken pox and then the flu a couple of times, but they'd always been pretty mild. He never got colds or sniffles or anything like that.

Today, unfortunately, would be different.

Today, still in his pajamas, Alec sat at the kitchen table, a bowl of cereal in front of him. He should have been ready for school, as he only had a few more weeks before graduating and he'd been working insanely hard to at least get a passing grade in his classes. But instead he just shoved the contents of the bowl, which may at one time have been Corn Flakes but now resembled mush and stared out into space. The coffee maker hadn't been turned on either. Which, of course, considering his coffee habit, was highly unusual.
