Holes sentences 31-35

​

As he dug, he kept a constant watchout for Zero, but never saw him.

Mr. Pendanski's face was so swollen, he could barely open his eyes. They were just slits.

"He's a ward of the state,"

"Can you get into the state files from our computer?"

Two days later a new kid was assigned to Group D. Vacancies don't last long at Camp Green Lake.

Twitch had been arrested for stealing a car.

I'll be walking past a real nice car, parked in a deserted area, and, you know, I'll just start twitching.

Twitch fidgeted. His fingers drummed against the wooden shaft of his shovel, and his neck moved from side to side.

"You won't be twitching so much after digging all day," Mr. Sir told him. "You won't have the strength to wiggle your pinkie." He popped some sunflower seeds in his mouth, deftly chewed them, and spat out the shells. "This isn't a Girl Scout camp."

Even if Zero was somehow alive after more than four days, how would Stanley ever find him?

Stanley wondered if Mr. Sir had left the keys in the ignition.

The keys were there, dangling in the ignition. Stanley felt his fingers start to twitch.

He flung open the door to the truck and climbed quickly inside.

The engine revved. The truck didn't move. He pressed the pedal to the floor. The engine roared, but the truck was motionless.

The truck lurched forward. Stanley jerked back against the seat and tightly gripped the wheel as the truck accelerated. His foot was pressed to the floor. The truck went faster and faster across the dry lake bed.

Suddenly Stanley was slammed forward, then instantly backward as an airbag exploded in his face. He fell out of the open door and onto the ground. He had driven straight into a hole.

He lay on the dirt staring at the truck, which stuck lopsided into the ground.

He managed to get to his feet. He was sore but didn't think he had broken any bones.

His canteen was strapped around his neck. It banged against his chest as he ran, and every time it hit against him, it reminded him that it was empty, empty, empty.

He slowed to a walk.

Occasionally he'd hear the revving of the engine, but the truck wasn't going anywhere anytime soon.

Walking helped calm him down and allowed him to think clearly.

He'd have to return to camp. He knew that. But he was in no hurry.

He smiled as he realized that wouldn't quite work. He would only go halfwayㅡhalfway as far as he thought he could go, so that he'd still have the strength to return.

Just when he thought he'd passed the last hole, he'd come across another cluster of them, a little farther away.

Back at the compound, they had dug in a systematic order, row upon row, allowing space for the water truck.

It was as if every once in a while, in a fit of frustration, the Warden would just pick a spot at random, and say, "What the hell, dig here.

Stanley found himself looking down into each hole he passed. He didn't admit to himself what he was looking for.

After more than an hour had gone by, he thought he had surely seen the last hole, but then off to the left he saw another cluster of them. He didn't actually see the holes. He saw the mounds of dirt that surrounded them.

He stepped over the mounds and looked into the first hole.

He leapt back over the mound and ran.

He thought he might have seen one leap out of the hole.

He ran until he couldn't run any farther, then collapsed. They hadn't come after him.

He sat there awhile and caught his breath. As he got back to his feet, he thought he noticed something on the ground, maybe fifty yards away. It didn't look like much, maybe just a big rock, but in a land of nothingness, any little thing seemed unusual.

He walked slowly toward it. The encounter with the lizards had made him very cautious.

He wondered if it was the same one Magnet had stolen from Mr. Sir, although that didn't seem likely.

The sun was almost directly overhead.

It seemed pointless.

Nothing but emptiness.

Maybe he'd already gone halfway and didn't know it.

He hurried toward it.  The pool hurried away from him, moving as he moved, stopping when he stopped.

There wasn't any water. It was a mirage caused by the shimmering waves of heat rising off the dry ground.

At first he wasn't sure if this was another kind of mirage, but the farther he walked, the clearer they came into a view.

Almost straight ahead of him, he could see what looked like a fist, with its thumb sticking up.

One thing was certain. It was more than halfway.

He kept walking toward it, although he didn't know why. He knew he'd have to turn around before he got there. But every time he looked at it, it seemed to encourage him, giving him the thumbs-up sign.

As he continued walking, he became aware of a large object on the lake.

More likely, it was a ridge of dirt or rocks.

The object, whatever it was, was not on the way to Big Thumb but off to the right.

He doubted it was anything, but the fact that there was something in the middle of all this nothing made it hard for him to pass up. He decided to make the object his halfway point, and he hoped he hadn't already gone too far. He laughed to himself when he saw what it was.

The boat lay upside down, half buried in the dirt.

Someone may have drowned here, he thought grimlyㅡat the same spot where he could very well die of thirst.

The upside-down red letters were peeled and faded, but Stanley could still read the name: Mary Lou.

Something stirred under the boat. It was coming out.

with sunken eyes and a drooping smile

he asked. His voice was weak and raspy.

His lips were so pale they were almost white, and his tongue seemed to flop around uselessly in his mouth as he spoke, as if it kept getting in the way.

he smiled sheepishly, "I drove it into a hole.

"C'mon, we got to get back to camp."

Zero shaded his eyes with his forearm.

He'd lost a lot of weight.

As he pulled himself through, his leg struck something sharp and hard.

provide light and ventilation

Zero held a jar in his hand and grunted as he tried to unscrew the lid. His voice was strained as he worked on the jar.

He still couldn't get the lid off.

jagged edges

cracked lid

It was a warm, bubbly, mushy nectar, sweet and tangy.  It felt like heaven as it flowed over his dry mouth and down his parched throat.

"How many are left?"

a vowel/a consonant

Zero suddenly groaned. He grabbed his stomach and bent over. "Are you all right?" He continued to groan.

He looked off into the distance.

But as he studied the mountain, his right hand slowly formed into a fist. He raised his thumb.
