Uh Oh! Wanderer is way over her head. At this point she is thinking of turning on her people. Melanie's story has made such an impact on Wanderer she is beginning to act human. I mean that in a sense as she is starting to have feelings for Melanie, her boyfriend Jared, and her little brother Jamie. Wanderer is now trying to think of how she is going to get clear of this difficult obstacle. One of her options is to just leave the body but then she would have to leave the host to a harassing Seeker that wants to try and get the info from Melanie's mind herself. Just the idea disgusts both Melanie and Wanderer. The turn of events in this story keep readers alive while reading. One thing that is booming in my head is what will Wanderer do if she actually meets Melanie's family? How can she convince them that Melanie is still present in her mind and that she means no harm? Wanderer is taking a risk with any choice she makes. Either she helps Melanie save her family or she doesnt help and let the Seeker feed off of Melanie's mind to destroy the last two humans who have not been invaded.
What is it about people that makes them more human than animals? Is our capability to fell emotion? Animals feel emotion.
Is it our ability to make mistakes? Animals do it too even if they don't know it.
What sets humans apart from animals? (I only hope you won't say opposable thumbs).

the truth? the only thing that i can see that separates us from animals is that fact that we wear clothes and with those new cashmere sweaters coming out for cats and dogs, thats not even a difference anymore. we have no way of knowing what goes on inside an animal's head. im sure they make conscious decisions just like we do. well, i guess, since we're both religious people i can say that the difference between us and animals is that God gave us rule over them. yep, i know my bible! lol.
