Chapter 12: Monkey Pants
Chapter 12: Monkey Pants was the first individual Dodo encountered in Ward C-1. Positioned in the adjacent steel crib, only a few inches separated them. This boy, perhaps around eleven or twelve years old, was contorted in a manner that Dodo had never seen before, appearing as if he had been twisted into an impossible knot.

Instead, they left him an estate worth forty-eight thousand dollars in 1945, a sum that has since quadrupled in value.
