Rain drummed relentlessly against the canvas of the Maine woods, turning the campsite into a muddy quagmire. On the third day, the humidity clung to everything. Peter crouched by a pathetic pile of sodden sticks, his expression a mix of resignation and mild annoyance. Nearby, Ned fumbled with damp matches, looking equally defeated. The air was thick with the scent of wet pine and teenage frustration. Then, a quiet voice cut through the drizzle. A new figure crouched beside Peter, offering a hopeful smile amidst the gloom. Peter looked up, his eyes adjusting to the dim light, before gesturing to his friend and introducing himself, the three of them suddenly bound by the shared misery of a wet camping trip.
