“Guess we should keep playing then...” Jeff shrugged.
“Who’s up next?” Beth asked, feeling a bit distraught at the unchanged circumstance.
“Um... Looks like it’s Frank’s turn.” Tess replied as she set the game on a nearby coffee table and took a seat.
“Can you set me down there?” Frank asked, nodding towards the table.
Abby lowered him down next to the device, where he finger-walked closer to the screen. He almost looked squid-like as he maneuvered his minuscule body into position.
