"We'll deal with it when it gets that big, then."
"That old geezer of a Pope from the Church of Holy Illuminati doesn't look all that good, either."
Wilbur looked at Eileen. "That's the biggest religion in the world, a proper one."
"If they were really all that proper, why do you think Constantine was expelled from it?"
"I don't know, and I don't want to know."
"There are lots of hidden dangers in the world we don't know about yet. I feel like you should take over the Kiwanis Club and start preparing for these dangerous times that might come."
"Sorry, but I really don't have the time for that. I have enough things to worry about as it is."
"Are you scared?"
Wilbur turned around to look at Eileen. "I've never been afraid of anyone or anything."
Eileen shrugged with a smile. "I can see that."
"I'd like to go on a walk on my own," said Wilbur.
Eileen stopped in her steps, and Wilbur headed forward on his own.
A long while later, Eileen turned around to head back, mumbling to herself, "You cowardly child. You're about to learn that some things can't be changed just out of sheer will."
Wilbur strolled along the lake, his expression calm.
His thoughts, however, had drifted away to a faraway place.
His mind was currently a mess, filled with thoughts that made him feel as if his brain was about to explode.
Wilbur was so lost in his own thoughts that he nearly missed the three people in front of him who were about to jump into the lake.
He was spooked when he finally saw them, hurrying over at once.
A couple in their thirties, along with a child, had crawled over the barrier separating the lake from the shore and were about to jump.
Wilbur stood there, only able to react when they had jumped into the lake.
He leaped into the air, hauling the child up and tossing him onto the shore before dragging the couple up.
