Have you seen Normal?

He’s been missing for days.

He was there last Thursdayat my piano lesson.

I really miss him.Do you know when Normal is coming back?
But when it was time to bake on Saturday, Normal was gone.
It just isn’t like him to not show up.
![Page 7: Has Anyone Seen Normal?€¦ · The last time I saw him was six days ago. I remember because it was the same day that guy came to town. That guy over there; his name is Chaos. And](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022071023/5fd82062e5978e7b9834583d/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
The last time I saw him was six days ago.I remember because it was the same day
that guy came to town.
That guy over there; his name is Chaos.And nothing has been the same since he
showed up.
![Page 8: Has Anyone Seen Normal?€¦ · The last time I saw him was six days ago. I remember because it was the same day that guy came to town. That guy over there; his name is Chaos. And](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022071023/5fd82062e5978e7b9834583d/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
When he came to town, people started to get sick.The �rst thing he did was close down
dance class, piano lessons, and vacations.
![Page 9: Has Anyone Seen Normal?€¦ · The last time I saw him was six days ago. I remember because it was the same day that guy came to town. That guy over there; his name is Chaos. And](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022071023/5fd82062e5978e7b9834583d/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Then Chaos kicked everyone out of school.The students, the teachers, even the principal!
![Page 10: Has Anyone Seen Normal?€¦ · The last time I saw him was six days ago. I remember because it was the same day that guy came to town. That guy over there; his name is Chaos. And](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022071023/5fd82062e5978e7b9834583d/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
I stare out the window and wonder: Where has Normal gone?
But he didn’t stop there. Chaos said I couldn’t play with Jen for a while.
No Tony or Chrissy; no kids on my block.
![Page 11: Has Anyone Seen Normal?€¦ · The last time I saw him was six days ago. I remember because it was the same day that guy came to town. That guy over there; his name is Chaos. And](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022071023/5fd82062e5978e7b9834583d/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Many good things are gone.Things like friends and parties
and even toilet paper.
Chaos closed down the zoo, the library, and the playgrounds. Not much is the same.
![Page 12: Has Anyone Seen Normal?€¦ · The last time I saw him was six days ago. I remember because it was the same day that guy came to town. That guy over there; his name is Chaos. And](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022071023/5fd82062e5978e7b9834583d/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
I wonder if Chaos scared Normal away with those masks everyone’s wearing these days.
![Page 13: Has Anyone Seen Normal?€¦ · The last time I saw him was six days ago. I remember because it was the same day that guy came to town. That guy over there; his name is Chaos. And](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022071023/5fd82062e5978e7b9834583d/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Mom and Dad keep saying, “It won’t always be like this.”
But what if Chaos is here to stay?Will he scare everyone away?
![Page 14: Has Anyone Seen Normal?€¦ · The last time I saw him was six days ago. I remember because it was the same day that guy came to town. That guy over there; his name is Chaos. And](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022071023/5fd82062e5978e7b9834583d/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Hasn’t anyone seen Normal?!
![Page 15: Has Anyone Seen Normal?€¦ · The last time I saw him was six days ago. I remember because it was the same day that guy came to town. That guy over there; his name is Chaos. And](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022071023/5fd82062e5978e7b9834583d/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Maybe I can try to do the things I liked before. But in a di�erent way.
Would it feel like Normalwas still here?
![Page 16: Has Anyone Seen Normal?€¦ · The last time I saw him was six days ago. I remember because it was the same day that guy came to town. That guy over there; his name is Chaos. And](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022071023/5fd82062e5978e7b9834583d/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Chaos told everyone to stay away, but maybe I can leave some cookies on the doorstep of Patti and Dave.
![Page 17: Has Anyone Seen Normal?€¦ · The last time I saw him was six days ago. I remember because it was the same day that guy came to town. That guy over there; his name is Chaos. And](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022071023/5fd82062e5978e7b9834583d/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Normal and I liked to draw silly things,so maybe I can draw pictures for the cars
driving past.
![Page 18: Has Anyone Seen Normal?€¦ · The last time I saw him was six days ago. I remember because it was the same day that guy came to town. That guy over there; his name is Chaos. And](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022071023/5fd82062e5978e7b9834583d/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
And since my piano recital is canceled,maybe I can open my windows and play
for my neighbors as they walk by.
![Page 19: Has Anyone Seen Normal?€¦ · The last time I saw him was six days ago. I remember because it was the same day that guy came to town. That guy over there; his name is Chaos. And](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022071023/5fd82062e5978e7b9834583d/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Is it true what they say,that a smile goes a long way?
Because there is a lot ofdistance between us these days.
![Page 20: Has Anyone Seen Normal?€¦ · The last time I saw him was six days ago. I remember because it was the same day that guy came to town. That guy over there; his name is Chaos. And](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022071023/5fd82062e5978e7b9834583d/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Normal, is that you? You look so di�erent.What happened to you?
Still, things are starting to feel almost... Normal?!
![Page 21: Has Anyone Seen Normal?€¦ · The last time I saw him was six days ago. I remember because it was the same day that guy came to town. That guy over there; his name is Chaos. And](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022071023/5fd82062e5978e7b9834583d/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Chaos is still here. He hasn’t gone away.But guess what? I’m happy anyway.
I learned I can be happy,even when things aren’t the same.
![Page 22: Has Anyone Seen Normal?€¦ · The last time I saw him was six days ago. I remember because it was the same day that guy came to town. That guy over there; his name is Chaos. And](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022071023/5fd82062e5978e7b9834583d/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
You have changed, Normal. But I have changed too.
