Eddie let out a deep sigh of relief. He'd been to gigs before, with Milo, god he hadn't thought about Milo in days. He had been to gigs with him though, he knew what it was like, this ringing, how hard it was to fall asleep listening to it. God. He couldn't even hear his own breathing anymore, let alone get the song out of his head. He looked over at Lucas, then at the others, nodding at them. Bill was bright red in the face, his anger clear.
That was going to make what happened next even worse.
When the bag was tossed in, Elizabeth looked at it before looking at the others, and was the first one to make a move to the bag, made of a burlap sack type material. She opened it, and pulled out pillow after pillow, stopping at three. "There are only three..." She gulped, and looked around. "It's like the bowls again, isn't it?"
"I should get-" Bill started.
"Lucas should get one." Eddie interrupted. "He's only a kid."
Sarah nodded. "I'd feel bad having a pillow if Lucas didn't."
"Agreed." Elizabeth mumbled. "And Eddie."
Eddie shrugged his shoulders. "No, I don't think so. I don't mind not having one..." He trailed off, and then held up a finger, signalling to wait while a thought popped into his head. "If you put it this way, you might be able to keep the burlap sack and make that into a pillow, which means there's four, although one is slightly less comfortable. I mean..." Eddie walked over to the pillows and looked at them. "They're regular pillows. We could attempt to share them, two to a pillow, but that sort of relies on how close we don't mind getting to each other." Eddie stated.
"I don't mind sharing." There seemed to be a chorus of agreement, at least from my lot, but Bill had his face slightly scrunched up in disagreement. Selfishness, however, would not get him anywhere.
"There's eight of us, if we can share the pillows we will all have at least a slight bit more comfort, depending on the sack situation. If he takes it away, we can't use that to make a pillow." Eddie gulped.
