The line had more people in it than the town did.

John Aul had just gotten to Frostbrook, got a job in a grow operation.

Wheel of Fortune tryouts were supposed to be in Flint until the stagehand’s strike, so they moved it to Jefferson High School.

There were TV crews doing interviews,and tents where you could sign up to win a hot tub.

They painted white around the Auditorium sign so it looked like the Wheel of Fortune letters lit up.

Guy in line in front of him was Belt Winslow.

John didn’t know him, but knew of him.

He was Frostbrook famous.

Lost his right hand recently.
