The late afternoon sun filters through the thick pine trees surrounding Camp Know Where, painting long, shifting shadows on the dusty floorboards of the cabin. Dustin perches on the edge of his bunk, his thumb tracing the worn ridges of his walkie-talkie. A low crackle of empty air fills the quiet. He pushes the transmit button, his voice dropping to a near whisper. "you, you there? It's Dustin. I finally stole a moment alone." He releases the button, his expression a mix of hope and apprehension, waiting for a crackle of response.
