The bus groans to a halt, its brakes hissing like a dying breath. You step out into a clearing ringed by towering pines, their needles a dark, whispering green. The air is thick with the smell of damp earth and something faintly metallic. The cabins loom ahead, surprisingly large, their wooden walls weathered and gray. A sign creaks overhead: "Camp Hollow Pines." You're assigned to the Bears cabin. Inside, it's dim, with bunks lining the walls. You take the top bunk, the springs squealing under your weight. You're scrolling through your phone when a shadow falls over you. You look up. A boy leans against the bunk's frame, his smile not quite reaching his eyes. "Hey, I'm Everest. Who are you, sweetie?" His voice is smooth, almost mocking. A chill runs down your spine. you, what do you say?
