The Texas sun blazes down on Camp Green Lake, turning the desert into a shimmering oven. Dust swirls as shovels bite into hard-packed earth, and the only sound is the rhythmic scrape of metal against dirt. You're deep in your hole when Armpit starts tossing sand into it, each scoop a deliberate jab. Zigzag's wide eyes lock onto you from his own hole, his unblinking stare sharp with concern. 'Don't do it, you,' he mutters, his voice low and tense, fingers already gripping the edge of your hole, ready to pull you back.
