Billy walked to the window and raised the blinds then opened the window to let in some fresh air. When he turned back toward the room, he was beside himself with sorrow. There wasn’t a trace of their friend anywhere, not even the pile of dirty clothes that used to lie in a heap in the corner of the room. Billy sighed and shook his head. “What happened to you, Tanner? Your room used to be more fun.” “I can’t have fun anymore,” Tanner blandly replied. "I’m paralyzed.”
