returns to the bedroom, both of
    the guys are done having sex. The light is off. They are
    curled up together and drifting into sleep.

    “Bitches!” she mutters to herself.

    They didn’t save any room for her under the covers,
    but she forces herself in anyway, behind Kevin. Kevin is
    breathing heavily and covered in sweat, as she wraps her
    arm around him. She feels Rick’s ribs against the back of
    her hand and gently grinds her knuckles into them until he
    moves. Then she’s able to slide her hand between the two
    of them, all the way around Kevin’s body. She can probably
    pull Kevin on top of her and have him finish her off, but she
    decides to let it go. The sexual energy she had been feel-
    ing all day has vanished. She closes her eyes and tries to
    sleep. She tries to push the anger and dissatisfaction out of
    her mind.

    They’ve got a rule that nobody goes to bed until ev-
    erybody has an orgasm. This is the first time that rule has
    been broken. Since Desdemona left the room in a huff, she’ll
    forgive them for it this time. But in the morning, she’ll have
    her boyfriends make it up to her. Maybe she’ll even give
    Rick oral sex and show him how it’s supposed to be done.

    Stephanie’s room is on the ground floor. She doesn’t
    want to be on the ground floor, because that’s where all the
    big creepy bugs like to roam. She can’t handle bugs. She
    decides to sleep on the living room couch in her sleeping
    bag, instead of on the floor in the room she was given. She
    would rather not sleep on the floor.

    But she’s not able to sleep anywhere. Too many
    thoughts are racing through her mind. She just reclines on

    the couch and stares at the ceiling.

    A window shatters in the next room.

    She leaps off of the couch and looks around. The
    noise came from the bedroom, the room she was supposed
    to be sleeping in. Jason’s revolver is on the coffee table.
    Stephanie picks it up. It’s not loaded. She searches the room
    for the box of bullets.

    Nobody else seems to have heard the shattering
    sound. She wonders why they haven’t heard it. She won-
    ders if they were the ones who caused the noise. The bullets
    are on the kitchen counter. She frantically loads the revolver
    with three bullets and drops the other three. Three’s plenty,
    she thinks, and leaves the other bullets on the floor.

    The gun is pointed out in front of her as she enters
    the bedroom and turns on the light. The room is empty. The
    window is intact. She looks out of the window. In the moon-
    light, she can see all the way across the clearing. Nobody is
    out there. She lowers the gun and leaves the room.

    She doesn’t notice that the outside lamp has been
    smashed with a rock.

    After that, Stephanie realizes that she’s not going to
    get any sleep. Her toothbrush is dirty now, so she can’t use it
    to brush her teeth, even though she’s incredibly anxious. Nor-
    mally, she keeps a toothbrush on her at all times for brushing,
    and another hidden in her room for masturbating. She wishes
    she would have brought that toothbrush with her.

    Sitting on the couch with the gun in her lap, she sighs
    and stares blankly at the Theremin centering the room. Then
    she begins to cry.

    She looks down at the gun in her lap and wonders
    if she has the guts to use it on herself. She’s contemplated
    suicide before, dozens of times, but she’s never been able
    to go through with it. She often tells her mother that she’s
    contemplating suicide, as a way of asking for help. But her
    mother always smacks her across the face and says, suicide
    is a one-way ticket to hell . And that’s always the end of that
    discussion.

    Unfortunately, the only cure for her problems that
    she can think of at the moment is suicide. She doesn’t want
    to kill herself but she feels trapped against a brick wall and
    doesn’t know what else to do. She doesn’t want to have the
    baby. It’s her brother’s. Stephanie’s brother never used con-
    doms when
