Sebastian's three siblings ran down the stairs in a flurry of sound and commotion, first his sister Sophie who was the age of five followed his two brothers James and Richard, age four and nine, fighting each other as they descended.
"Hi mommy." Sophie said.
"Good morning dear. How was your night?"
"Great! I dreamed of ponies and unicorns and the strange man who lives down the street but Mr. Gamgie shooed him away."
"Well that's very nice of him to do that." replied her mother, "Boys stop that before someone gets hurt."
"Ok mom." the two intoned. Richard let go of the strangle hold he had on James and the two sat down to the kitchen table. "What's for breakfast?" James asked. "Can we have corn puffs?" Corn puffs were generally a treat in the house and since they hadn't had it in a while James was hopeful.
"I'm sorry dear, we ran out the last time we had them." James hung his head.
"Cheer up kiddo" Sebastian tried sympathetically, "maybe next week." James head perked up at that thought.
"Well I'm going to go pack up my bag and leave for school." Sebastian said.
"Don't forget your lunch bastian, i made it last night." she handed him a paper bag.
"Thanks" Sebastian walked up the stairs and into his room. School papers were spread out everywhere on the tiny desk he had by his bed. He gathered them up in his binder and jammed it into his bag, followed by the brown paper lunch.
