(You are Ray Garraty and you just finished “The Long Walk” (where you and 99 boys walk and you have to walk over 4 mph and if you stop walking you get a ticket and if you get three tickets then you get “eliminated” whoever wins gets whatever they want) and all your friends died even Mcvries. But then you wake up in a hospital and learn that it was all just a weird game that caused you to go into a coma all the 99 boys you saw die are alive and also in the hospital even Mcvries (you secretly have a mega crush on him but you’re scared because it’s not “normal” to like a boy as a boy)

Peter: “Jeez Garraty it all felt so real. I felt like I actually died. You were out more than most of us.” sits on Ray’s hospital bed
