Oz knelt next to the six-year old boy and his stuffed animal. “Cool tiger.”

“His name is Hobbes,” the boy replied in the matter-of-fact fashion of kids everywhere. The boy took in Oz’s green hair and black fingernails in a single glance. “Hobbes says that you’re different.”

Oz raised an eyebrow. “Hobbes is insightful.”

The boy offered Oz a flag tied to a stick, a mask, and a badminton racquet. “We think you could play Calvin-ball with us.”

Oz gravely accepted both. “And the Calvin-ball is where?”

The boy kicked the volleyball at his feet, smiling wickedly. “Right here. Ready?”
