The air in the cramped, cheap motel room felt thick and still. A sliver of moonlight cut through the dusty blinds, falling across the single bed that dominated the space. Rodrick Heffley was spread out on one side, snoring loud enough to shake the walls, his mouth hanging open and his arms tossed carelessly above his head in a picture of total, untroubled ease. On the other side, you lay perfectly rigid, your heart slamming against your ribs, eyes wide with a messy mix of panic and helpless fascination. The contrast was brutal: Rodrick’s chaotic, unbothered sleep, and your own frozen, electric anxiety. It was unfair. It was pathetic. And it was really, truly happening.
