CABIN FEVER
Rain pelted the outside of the lodge house. A garish wind encircled everything, uprooting trees, ripping apart stands. It was the worst storm New York had seen in a long time. Nobody ventured into the streets and those who did were crazy. Bumlets sat tapping his long stick against the side of the bunk with a slow rhythm. Everyone in the Manhattan news boys lodge house had cabin fever. Race sat playing a game of solitaire, while others took the day to sleep. Jack laid on his bunk with his hat over his face.
�Would you�se stop that?� He said piercing the silence.
Bumlets looked up. �hmm?�
�stop it.� Jack sat up pulling his hat off his face.
�Stop what?�
�dat annoyin� tappin�!� Dutchy said sitting up in his bunk.
Bumlets glared at him. �I�se�ll do what I�se wanna do.� He started to tap faster.
Specs glared at him. �Stop.�
Bumlets grinned evilly, his tapping getting louder. �oh? You�se want me ta keep going? Louder you say?� His eyes went insane. Blink jumped off his bed and ripped the stick from Bumlets� hands. He snapped it against his knee and threw it across the room.
�Yeah, we like it fine.� He sneered at Bumlets who glared back at him. Blink turned and started to walk across the room. Bumlets stood and kicked him in the butt. Blink whirled and put his fists up to fight. Snoody and Itey grabbed his arms to hold him back while Pie Eater and Mush grabbed Bumlets.
Jack stood between the two of them. �I want no fightin� ya hear?� He said giving looks to both of them. Blink struggled to get out of the hold the newsies had on him and grumbled.
�yeah, yeah.� He plopped down next to Race.
�get off me bunk, yer makin� da cards slide.� Race said puffing on his cigar.
Blink bounced on the bed. �that good fer ya?� The cards slid in every direction, unfixable.
Race whacked him upside the head. �you�se been in a bad mood all day, get off me bunk.�
�look who�s talkin�!� Blink glared standing and leaning on the edge of a different bunk.
Race gathered the cards on his bunk and placed them in a pile. He picked up his harmonica and started to play a mellow prisoner song. Boots started to hum along with it as Dutchy snapped a slow beat.
Jack screamed. "I CANT TAKE IT ANYMORE!" he then proceeded to run down the staircase into a wall. repeatedly.
