Seems like the kid from my dreams was probably kidnapped. We had a possible sighting of him, though. At Benny's Burgers, stealing food from the kitchen. Problem is, Benny killed himself. Which is...It doesn't sit well. Benny was a friend, and maybe we weren't super close or anything but it just feels...off.

Things like this don't happen in my town. Last kid went missing 60 years earlier. Last suicide was in the 60s. Now both have happened in the same week. Same day. It doesn't make sense. I have this feeling of foreboding. I woke up with it in the pit of my stomach, and I'm not sure what to do with that feeling now.

Finally had a dream without that damn coal showing up on my arm. Went snake hunting with Ruthie. Afterwards, Lods got me riled up and I picked a fight with Ruthie. Her son tried to get in the way, I shoved him and he broke his arm. I apologised to Ruthie, and took Gabe out to the river to heal his arm. He's the stereotypical big dumb kid, and I told him he had to keep it a secret and pretend like his arm was still broke. It was a risk, and I ain't sure it was a smart risk to take.
