I’ve never participated in canoeing, there’s probably like alien guts or something in there. We don’t know what Campbell did.
Yeah… wait, what Campbell did? What did… what did he do?
A lot of shit, man. Dunno if he did anything to the lake, though.
Heey…
What, uh… kind of stuff?
*he gestures around them* Scam camp. His house thing or whatever on spooky island is pretty fu- messed up.
There’s a house on Spooky Island? I didn’t know that… *he looks toward the island*
It’s,,, kinda terrible.
*looks back at Max* Oh yeah?
Yeah. Spooky island in general is just,,, terrible. I’m pretty sure there’s a kid stuck there and- *he looks vaugely disgusted*
There’s a kid stuck there?? Max, are you serious?
Maybe? I don’t know for sure. It was probably a fever day dream or something. Sure as hell wasn’t a ghost so.
What? What are you talking about? Have you been to the island? Did you see a kid there?
Yes, and yes. He just sorta appeared and was talking in weird 90’s lingo. I didn’t question it.
How do you know 90′s lingo? And… why didn’t you question that the kid was there? Was there another camp on the island?
He said stuff like “radical” and had light up shoes. And, There’s like, multiple different camps. But he had “camp campbell yellow” on. I’ve never seen him before that so,
Light-up shoes? Those were cool. But really? Campbell Yellow? And you hadn’t seen him before? That’s… very strange.
Yeah, this is like, my third year and I’ve never seen him before. That whole trip was weird to be fair.
Huh… Can you tell me what happened on that island?
I think I’ve told you parts of it before, we had like a camp fire and “scary” stories a few weeks ago and QM told us not to go to Spooky island so naturally Nikki, Neil, and I went over to spooky island with the platypus. This kid Jasper just appeared out of the bushes talking about monsters, we explored Campbells home thing, found some fucked up stuff, and found QM doing fucked up stuff. It was pretty eventful.
…. I think I remember part of that story. Dios Mio… The kid didn’t come back with you? Jasper, his name was?
Yeah. QM just took me, Niel, and Nikki back. I don’t think he even Acknowledged the other kid.
Have… you asked David or anybody else about Jasper?
Nope. I choose to ignore that whole night.
But… you said Jasper was left behind… what if he were a real person and is still on that island all alone?
Nikki, Neil, and I all saw him. QM didn’t. It’s probably some weird kid thing.
Or the QM didn’t care enough and is hiding something horrible on the island, and the other kid is involved?? Max, are you absolutely sure that kid isn’t real?? *okay, he was very concerned – he didn’t trust the QM in the slightest*
