His Mother Tried To Comfort Him

During the seemingly endless series of tests Ballard was being subjected to, he asked his mom if it could have anything to do with the dare. Reassuringly, she told her son that she didn’t believe anyone could get sick from eating a slug. But after the tests, it was discovered that his symptoms were in fact because of the slug.
