  • For the rest of the week, Jack was a prisoner of his own body. Try as he might, he was helpless as his body did the chores Ash gave him. The best way for him to pass time was to simply stop thinking, that allowed him to pass time faster, allowed him to ignore the pain and bruises his body was getting.
