The first thing Ender noticed was the smell. It reminded him of the movie theater -- although he hadn't been in one of those for years. It felt like another lifetime: him, Valentine and Peter, Mom and Dad, sitting in the dark, his feet not even reaching the sticky, squeaky floor, watching some new, patronizing Disney movie, like a regular family with little kids. They'd only done that a couple times.
He stood up and blinked a few times, his eyes adjusting to the light. He was in a large room which was mostly empty, except for the giant kernels of popcorn scattered about. He looked up at them, turning slowly in place. Was this a dream? Was it maybe part of the computer game back at the Battle School?
Why popcorn?
Curious, he started walking through the room, hoping to find an exit of some kind. Or at least something other than more popcorn.
