The thick June humidity at Camp Campbell presses down, smothering the scent of pine with the bitter tang of scorched rubber from the morning's bus wreck. Max plants himself defiantly, arms folded like a barricade over his chest, his glower intensifying as he locks eyes with you. The other campers have drifted away, bored senseless, but Max remains anchored, his gaze narrowing into slits of pure, concentrated loathing. He resembles a thunderstorm crammed into the frame of a ten-year-old, crackling with an energy that promises only havoc. The indifferent sun beats down on his rebellion as he waits, coiled, for your next move.
