“ you can also just run away and start screaming for help. ” hand stayed up, all eyes on him, silence sharp and merciless. “ guess that was not the answer you were looking for, doc, my bad. ” the paramedic just agreed with his head and asked the same question again : what to do when a kid accidentally hurts themselves with an arrow ? the question was stupid, the answer was stupid and mads wanted a smoke break. “ hey, be honest now, real honest, ” he elbowned to the person to his right, motioning for them to look ahead, face the woods, inhabited and very welcoming. “ would you rather listen about some kid needing a drive to the hospital or get up to “go pee” in the woods and bump into me smoking a fat blunt? ” eyebrows wiggled up and down, another elbow movement, right hand pointing to the other five staff members listening to the full-of-words-oh-my-god paramedic. “ nobody’s gonna miss us, will they? come along. ” he got up, ready to leave, to run to his freedom, when the paramedic’s voice came again : “ oh, you would like to demonstrate for us, mister mads ? ”

the camp tour was going great. first bonfire looked… alive as ever, the smell of smoke and wood still following him around, and the campers’ cabin stayed the very same through all those years. he visited every single one of them, but cursed only the second — the one he was part of, many years ago — with fake spiders under every pillow. the kids will have so much fun with their first scream! he still holds a fake spider on the back of his hand as he walks away, balancing the insect he named freddy while walking around to the next sightseeing spot. his concentration on freddy is lost as soon as cierra comes to be a part of his peripheral vision. mads tries his best to be quiet — as if he ever learned how to —, but ends up making a noise five seconds in. “ madam, fancy seeing you here. ” freddy is hidden behind his back, hands securing him tightly. “ and are you sure? half? i can help you if you gimme, mmmm, let’s say … ” one hand comes to hold his chin, an inquisitive and very exaggerated expression taking his face. two steps forward, one look at the rocks, another two seconds of thoughts. “ seventy nine percent of your secret gummy worms. deal ? ”
where : the rock's secret.
open 2 : anyone !
had the rocks always been this big? she's on a mission to find one of her old drawings, a staple of her time at camp, her initials with a little heart next to them and someone else's initials crossed out. brief wish for a summer romance between two twelve year olds that ended in tragedy ( that is : they kissed someone else for some extra s'mores. it'd broken her heart! ) turned into a tradition, but maybe she should've taken out her glasses for this one, eyes thinned into slits as she tries to make out words on stone. good thing her ears work just fine! she twirls around the moment a leaf cracks under a shoe, smile bright enough to blind. “ if you can help me find somethin' on these rocks, i'll give you half my supply of secret gummy worms i snuck in. how's that sound? you in? ”

the bittersweet scent of the woods welcomed him with greed. mads believed that those trees had much to their memory, and to remember is to spend, to spend is to consume — they were hungry all the damn time and, therefore, dangerous. he needed to find a buried treasure, something he saved for later, lent to the land or whatever. only if mads had the patience of a saint. fifteen minutes walking in circles — was the forest playing tricks with him? “ i think i’ll give the fuck up. ” he whispered before hearing the crack of a twig snapping, looking to his left to find nothing but green. a voice to his right called out, and mads had to close his eyes and bite his tongue to avoid a cartoon worthy jump. “ thalia, what the fuck? did you just materialise from the ground? trying to make the murder count go up already? jesus christ. ” hand stayed on chest before knees were grabbed, head dropping low, dirty blonde hair hiding his features. “ oh, no. ” he looked up at her, ready to smile, but making eyes go big and terrified. “ what the fuck is that?! ” he pointed to a random tree behind her, unable to control his loud laughter for more than five seconds. “ sorry, had to. and yeah, got everything on me, pockets are working hard around here. you want to go back to the cabins? ”
who: thalia & OPEN
where: the birds nest forest
Whilst the campus was quiet, Thalia decided to make good use and explore the old place a little. She had thought that she would remember it like the back of her hand. She'd spent enough summers there that it should have been imprinted in her minds eye. But it quickly became apparent, as she walked in the forest, that it was not the case. She'd strayed from the beaten path and wasn't completely sure where to go nest.
After a little bit of time spent looking for her way, Thalia took a seat on one of the bigger tree roots. She just needed a moment to calm her mind - since she had started to panic - and then she would be on her way. As she heard the crack of a twig snapping, Thalia jumped but quickly moved towards where she had heard the sound. If someone was here, maybe they could help her get out again.
" Oh my god, please tell me you've got your map or, at least, that you know your way out of here? " Thalia giggled nervously as she finally caught up to the one who - she assumed - had made the noise, " I swear I thought I knew where I was going so I left it in the cabin the rest of the stuff and - yep - you guessed it. The walkie too. " she cringed at her own idiocy before more laughter took over. She had never really taken herself too seriously. Of course she would forget the one thing that she was told to keep on her at all times. " I know, I know. They told us to keep it on us at all times. I just - I forgot, I guess. In the excitement of exploring this place again, I didn't pick it up! "

ــــــــﮩ٨ـ ♬ : 𝑬𝑿𝑪𝑰𝑻𝑰𝑵𝑮. 𝑬𝑿𝑶𝑻𝑰𝑪.. 𝑬𝑽𝑰𝑳 .ᐟ
𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠. a train wreck as aditya prasad-maddox, twenty-eight, former camper. 𝐟𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐬. fire & not being able to move. 𝐡𝐨𝐛𝐛𝐢𝐞𝐬. making and playing music , making ( up ) drinks , jogging ( more like walking around ) , d&d & driving. 𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐤𝐞𝐝. a guitar , a pocket knife , a weed , a hair dye , cool gloves , lots of rings , a flask , an epi pen , a camera , a beat up walkman , a beat up leather jacket , two dice , an old notebook .

⸻⸻ 𝐛𝐢𝐨 :
“ so… they just left you? ” aditya thought for a second, a quiet scoff coming out of his mouth before he could even stop himself. “ huh, no, they are my parents, they would never just leave me. that’s mental. ”
aditya’s father left him in virginia, at his uncle’s house, after a series of… unfortunate events; that’s how he called it anyway, because saying “ this child is taking too much after his mother ” was too harsh. his father knew how to be severe, and his mother knew how to be free. “ is that why it didn’t work out between you two, mum? ” he asked once, pausing his full colourful cereal breakfast to stare into his mother’s nape. she didn’t turn out after saying: “ one of the reasons, darling, he just couldn’t handle my rules. ” and of course his mother had rules, who doesn’t? mother never left her room after ten thirty five pm. candles needed to be light and blown out with a prayer attached to them. coming down the basement after eleven pm was prohibited. friends could come around, but only if they didn’t get close to the attic. sunday was a special day, and they needed to stay out of the house for as many hours as possible. he couldn’t remember all the rules — no seven year old boy would —, and his mother got angry sometimes, but never rude. he started to stay with her on weekends only, after the only accident with the candles and the fire. “ your father is being dramatic, darling, we only lost our couch. ” it was aditya’s favourite place to sleep. but sure, father was dramatic and his rules were way worse. “ real world adult rules. ”, nine year old aditya used to name them, hate them, even when he knew the feeling was too strong and should never take a room inside his heart. mother taught him so. her house was no place for hate, or things started changing. “ wait, mirrors breaking, weird noises at night, an unsettling feeling and banging inside the walls? that’s scarey as shit, your mum’s house might be haunted. ” aditya learned soon enough that mom didn’t quite like that word. or labels, in general. limitations are heavier than chains, go beyond, go where they don’t see. he did.
mads did so well at being extra that many kids around camp knew his name — how else would you call someone so insane? he had half green half blue hair and dressed eccentrically — what else would you expect from a child of divorce? a boy left by his parents to live with his uncle. a satanist. a druggie. a self proclaimed rockstar. killer vocals and great guitar abilities weren't enough. so maybe a motorcycle would do. a crushing talent for surviving the dangerous challenges he put himself through — but what was the real thrill in an almost guinness book nomination? he got bored, he tried music again, and all was fine until uncle passed away and dad decided on an ultimatum. college or nothing. college it was, and new rules came along. meeting hollow’s river again is a way to rest, to shake away the chains and get rid of the prosperous future for a bit. how much time do we actually have anyway?

⸻⸻ 𝐠𝐫𝐨𝐰𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐬𝐞 𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐬 :
he liked the freedom and the opportunity to stay away from his father's daily check-ins. the trees gave him the right kind of ground to be more like himself … and all the comments helped a lot. of course, he made himself to be and act way worse than what everyone thought of him. and it was fun. easy. drama, exaggeration, screams and devilish behaviors. oh, who cared? he stayed close with the strays, the weirdos, the kids who weren’t popular, but everybody talked about for the wrong reasons. he learned how to play d&d, how to become a master, a narrator — he got good at telling stories, writing them, and performing, too. camp offered so much life to him that, when bad things actually happened, he decided to close his eyes. until the noises were loud enough, impossible to ignore. the tragedy stays in his prayers until this day.
