Episode 11: Left Behind

Overview
(link to episode) "Left Behind" is the 11th episode in book one of Objectified. The episode starts where "Playing Hooky" left off, with Mushroom and Dynamite staring down the assimilated objects in the school hallway. Mushroom tells him to run, and they're shown running back up the hill outside. When they stop, Mushroom tries to calm Dynamite down and the two start walking home. Dynamite tries to call his mom while the two are walking, but she won't pick up the phone. They stop in front of his house, where it's clear that Dynamite's parents have left without him (hence the title of the episode). Mushroom, clearly upset for him, suggests they go to her house instead. When they arrive at Mushroom's house, they enter her bedroom where Dynamite breaks down by her bed. Mushroom ponders what Dynamite will eat from now on, revealing that he's a carnivore. The two agree to go back into town the next morning in hopes of finding food and survivors if Mushroom's dad doesn't come home, and fall asleep holding each other at the foot of her bed. After heading into town, they break into a store then sit outside while Dynamite eats eggs out of a carton and Mushroom seems to wonder what happened to her father. Dynamite realizes that he has cell service, and checks the news to see that a global order has been issued to abandon the Rings, because things have gotten too dangerous to send help. Train routes have also been shut down.
