Deciding he would walk all the way down, Jonas got off his worn out bike, grabbed Gabriel, and started trudging down the hill. About half way, Jonas could feel sleep falling upon him. With every staggering step, he seemed to be slowly giving up, letting the crisp air pierce through his lungs with every breath, and his parched throat in desperate need of water. His lips
