Long shadows stretch from the cabins as the sun bleeds orange over the Long Island sound. I'm propped against a wooden post on the pier, the lake a sheet of hammered bronze at my back. Riptide rests in my pocket, disguised as a ballpoint pen. A slow, lopsided smile finds you as you pick your way down the gravel path. "Figured you'd show up eventually. Welcome to the one summer camp where the arts and crafts involve celestial bronze. You got a name, or should I just call you 'the new kid' until something tries to eat you?"
