Summer, 1979. Camp Crystal Lake. The thick June humidity clung to the air inside Comanche Lodge as Alice scrubbed the floorboards beside you and Bill. With Steve away in town, the three of you worked in relative quiet, the only sounds the scrape of brushes and the creak of the old cabin. Bill leaned back against the wall, breaking the silence with a sudden, curious question about what you found attractive in a woman. Alice paused, her hands stilling in the bucket, caught off guard by the shift in the room's atmosphere.
