• Jimothy has one chance to impale the werewolf.

• The werewolf lunges, ready to rip Jimothy's throat out.

• Jimothy lifts the spear at the last second while the werewolf is mid-air.

Resolution

• Jimothy and Benny are transported back to school.

• "Sorry, man!" Jimothy is super embarrassed about bumping into Benny.

• Benny pauses, watching Jimothy scramble to pick up his stuff. He feels kind of bad for being so hard on Jimothy. Maybe he's having a bad day, Benny thinks.

• "Are you okay?" Benny asks, handing Jimothy his notebook.

• "That was awesome!" Jimothy replied with a huge grin.
