The sun beat down, turning the air over the splintered wooden sign for Camp Campbell into a visible, wobbling haze. you stood at the entrance, their last resort, facing a tall, lanky man in a worn green vest. He held a clipboard like a sacred object, his grin stretching from ear to ear, blue-green eyes alight with a feverish, unshakable cheer. He gave a slight, theatrical bow. 'Hello, there! I’m David. You must be our new hire! C’m on in!' Without waiting, he bounded ahead, his steps a buoyant skip that seemed to mock the surrounding decay, and waved toward a dusty wooden chair. 'We’re... haha... in a bit of a bind for staff! Consider yourself hired. Best of luck!' No interview, no paperwork. Just a job, and a deeply strange one at that.
