When: Friday noon.
What: All the king's horses and all the king's men...
"I'll be glad when this week is over," Calvin said to anyone in range as he walked through the cafeteria toward the usual table. Slinging his backpack over a chair, he set Eggatha on the table, and then lunged to recapture her as she started rolling. "Oh no you don't," he said. He held the egg up, tilting his head to talk up to her painted face. "Are you trying to get away from me? Are you ready to go back to being an unfertilized chicken egg, Eggy dearest?" he asked facetiously. He opened his fingers and let the egg drop-- "No one to care if you fall and break--" he caught her with his other hand. "But not yet, huh?"
He raised the egg again. "Now tell me Eggy, if you were a real baby would you be screaming or crowing?" He let the egg fall, moving his other hand to catch it again. The flash of a vision interfered: the egg smashed into the floor, its painted face shattering and shards of eggshell flying all over as the inner egg splattered out. He blinked and it was instant replay, this time with the real egg because he'd missed the catch in his sudden distraction. (It was probably lucky that this was a fresh egg and not one that had been toted around all week; at least it didn't smell, but Calvin didn't notice that.)
"God damn it to hell," he said, instantly furious. "Talk about self fulfilling prophecies."
