John used to be known as the Bathroom Bomber his first year at school which left him mortified to enter sophomore year. One of John and his friends avocations were prank calling people. They made it a game where they tried to witness who could carry out a conversation with a random individual on the phone the longest. None of it got too serious until one night John thought it would be easier to talk to one of his neighbors on the phone for longer. That night he ended up calling Mr. Pignati. Despite the fact that Mr. Pignati had no problem talking

When they visited, Mr. Pignati was delighted to see them since he was lonely. The entire time they were there, John was acting in an unsure way. After being there for a while, Mr. Pignati offered for John and Lorraine to go to the zoo with him tomorrow. They were hesitant at first, yet after thinking over it, they decided it would be a cordial gesture to do so. The following day when they reached the zoo, Lorraine saw a ton of omens that made her frenzied. To begin with, when they first got to the zoo, they wanted to buy peanuts, however, the lady at the stand selling them was antagonistic.
