Max was sitting at the dock, he knew it was late but he didn’t want to be in his tent now. He was shaking with tears running down his face, the nightmare that woke him up still lingered in the back of his mind. He hated it. “F-fuck…” was all he could muster out as he stared into the lake.

(( I’m not good at writig starters yet but I’m working on it 🙂

Carlos had come to the lake to take some samples and see if
he could catch a glimpse of any bioluminescent creatures in the water. He knew
there were strange things down there… he just knew it!

However, Carlos then noticed a figure sitting on the docks
nearby at the Camp Campbell side of the lake. A very small figure who shouldn’t
be anywhere near the lake at this
time of night. So Carlos gathered up his equipment and started to walk toward
the docks, his flashlight lighting his way.

“Hey!” he called to the figure as he got closer. “Hey, kiddo
– I think it’s past your bed time! What’re you doing out here?” As he got
closer he thought the figure looked familiar. The shape of the hair though was
what clued him in.

“Max? Hey, buddy, what’re you doing?”

Max’s head shot up, he thought everyone was asleep and that he was alone. “W-what? Nothing.” He wiped his eyes to a least make it seem like he wasn’t crying. “I-I’m fine.”

Carlos blinked at the kid. He hadn’t even asked how he was doing. And something didn’t really sound quite right in Max’ voice. Maybe he was tired?

“Well, what are you doing out of bed? David and Gwen don’t know that you’re here, do they?”

“D-Does it matter?”

Max wished he had rather stayed in his tent, at least then nobody else could see him like this.

Oh – there was definitely
something in Max’s voice. Something not right.

Carlos got closer and he slowly knelt down – just behind
max. “Hey… Max, is something wrong? Are you okay?”

Max shrugged, he wasn’t okay, but he wasn’t going to admit it.

Well, he didn’t say he was fine again. Carlos figured that
this was a tactic to not actually admit something was wrong. He scooted a
little closer to Max until he was right beside the kid. He sat down fully and
set his flashlight beside him, leaving it on so that the light shown out into
the water in front of them, giving it kind of an inky black, almost eldritch,
look.

“You know… you shouldn’t be so close to the water late at
night,” he told Max gently. He decided to start with a caring comment to see
how Max reacted.

Max turned away from Carlos, refusing to talk. His shoulders were noticably shaking.

Carlos looked at Max and frowned. Okay… no more pretenses. “Max,
what’s wrong? Can you tell me why you’re out here? Did something happen?”

*laughs* hell fucking no, dude

*he chuckles and kicks his feet excidedly* being a scientist seems fun..!

Oh, it definitely is! And it’s a great feeling to make a discovery, no matter how small.

maybe i could help find out what’s up with black holes!

Maybe you will! Heh… It’s really good to see kids interested
in science, these days…

there are a couple other kids here that like science more then me.. *he looks up at the sky* .. do you ever wonder how it would look or feel if you could see the stars during the day?

*shrugs* Sometimes. Sometimes though, if you look really
carefully, you can see lights in the sky that look like stars – those would be
our nearby planetoid neighbors or even the International Space Station and
other satellites.

internat- internatel– we have a space station? how many satellites are there?

Yeah, there’s a space station. And there’s plenty of
satellites – phone companies and TV companies and weather stations have their
stuff up there.

… what if you were on a space ship and you came back down to earth, but everyone was gone? not like everyone just packed up and left, but just gone ?

I think there might be a Twilight Zone episode about that.
But honestly… that would be pretty terrifying. However, it’s very unlikely that
that would ever happen. *he looks at the kid* What makes you ask about that?

i dunno… my friend thinks i think about abandonment too much though…. what’s the twilight zone? *he looked up at the other*

Oh, it’s an old show where really weird stuff happens. The
first episode in fact is of a man appearing in a town where there was
absolutely nobody there. Only in that episode it wasn’t real – it was a science
experiment being run to see how the human mind would deal during times of
complete solitude because they wanted to send man to Mars at some point in the
future.

… damn, sounds weird.. and the whole show is basically like that?

Sort of. It takes place in a place where reality isn’t quite
reality… so things get weird. But some elements are just so close to real life
that it just makes you think. Though it might be a little bit deep for you… You
can certainly try it when you get the chance.

Uh, kiddo? No offense, but you look kinda sick. You feeling okay?

Max, is everything okay?

Alright, he does.

*blinks* He… does have clothes? Or he does need something?

I think he needs clothes, I really haven’t been able to get any for him.

Oh – I can get some of those for you! What size does he
wear? Wait – actually, I can take you guys to Sleepy Peak to go shopping!

Oh no, wait… I can’t do that. I’m not a counselor… Um… I can still do the shopping anyhow.

We can probably ask David if you can take us, he probably won’t mind, you’re trustable.

I guess I could… but then he’d probably wanna go shopping with you instead. Which I’m fine with, of course.

Yeah you’re probably right.

I’ll pick something up from Sleepy Peak next i head into town. Maybe mention to David next time you see him so he can take you.

Alright, will do.

Sounds good kiddo.Good luck.

Thanks for the help.

It’s no trouble, Max. You ever need anything, just ask.
