The eyes are piercingly good. Unfortunately, not everything about the sketch is well drawn. Miraculously the falcon, with one leg shorter than the other, still manages to balance correctly on its perch.<\/p>\n<p>FullyCharged is the sort of small boy who seems to operate in only one of two possible modes, either absolute handful, or completely asleep. The staff nicknamed him FullyCharged, because that\u2019s completely in character with the way that he charges around the place! A normal walking pace seems to be out of the question. The nickname FullyCharged also seemed a kinder option than calling him SugarOverdose which is what somebody had suggested!<\/p>\n<p>Both aged six at the time, FullyCharged and Hayley arrived at the Noble Coliseum on the same day, and for the same reason. In spite of their completely different personalities, they became friends instantly.<\/p>\n<p>AuntSylvie and Walker both praise FullyCharged, \u201cwhat a marvellous picture, and so skilfully drawn\u201d.<\/p>\n<hr width=\"100%\" \/>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.slenderwolf.com\/novels\/2026\/05\/29\/chapter-18-the-bathtub-regatta143\/\">Previous<\/a> &#8211; Book1 Page145 \u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.slenderwolf.com\/novels\/2026\/05\/31\/chapter-19-innovative-technology146\/\">Next<\/a><\/p>\n<hr width=\"100%\" \/>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Previous &#8211; Book1 Page145 \u2013 Next Chapter 19 Innovative Technology \u201cHayley\u2019s in the art room,\u201d says AuntSylvie, \u201cshe\u2019s been drawing some magnificent pictures of the bathtub regatta\u201d.
