Left atop the covers of his friend's bed, Bryan gazed around the
gigantic room. In the distance, the computer screen located on David's
desktop looked the size of a motion picture screen at the local
cineplex.
Bryan walked toward the left side of the bed, toward a nightstand
adjacent to the bed. A large lamp located on the nightstand towered
above him. David's alarm clock looked the size of a small car.
Suddenly, he heard a noise and looked up to see someone entering the
room. He recognized David's kid brother, Daniel, almost immediately.
Daniel was accompanied by another boy, apparently the same age of
thirteen, who Bryan didn't recognize.
Bryan did not want to be seen. The bed, however, offered no
concealment. Acting quickly, he leaped over the small gulf between the
bed and the nightstand. He took cover behind David's clock.
Bryan peered from behind the clock at the two young giants. Although
they were less massive in appearance than David, they still loomed
ominously in Bryan's eyes.
He wondered what they wanted and wished that David would hurry back to
the room.

Daniel noticed something on his brother's dresser. He picked up the
small camouflage trousers and held them in his fingers.
"Why would your brother be messing with your stuff?" Daniel's friend
asked.
"I don't know," Daniel said. "My room looks like he ransacked it!"
"And for some action figure uniforms?" Daniel's friend said. "Doesn't
make much sense, man."

Bryan continued to watch. Daniel looked a lot like his older brother.
His friend had black hair and brown eyes. He stood taller than Daniel,
and he probably weighed 20 more pounds than his friend.
"Let's see what else he took!" Daniel said.
The giant boy headed right toward the nightstand and pulled open the
drawer in the piece of furniture.
