Summer Camp

It was like I was a kid again, even though I still felt my age. I was at a summer camp. I had a mixed cabin full of all sorts of different people. The best thing about the summer camp though, was that it was being hosted by Dropout; more specifically Dimension 20. The guy running it, leading everyone around, and giving speeches, was literally Brennan Lee Mulligan. It was currently the last day of camp. My cabin and I were getting ready for the evening’s showdown. A game where all the cabins would have to compete to figure out who the best cabin was. That said, we were currently chilling in the kitchen, eating snacks to fuel up. However, I have celiac disease, so as I was going around trying to find something I could eat, I began to panic a little cause I couldn’t find anything. Eventually though, I calmed down once I found a packaged pancake left just for me. It smelled so good. Once we were done eating, we moved out. To the bathrooms we went to finish getting ready. Once we were done though, it was time to lock in. As we now sat in the stands, Brennan explained the game. However, I missed all the instructions, distracted by something else. Next thing I knew, the game was starting. Everyone was lined up at the start line. Besides this one, there were 3 others, splitting up a rectangle on the ground into 3 sections. The camp councilors, who were other Dimension 20 people, stood across from us on the last start line. I figured my mission was to reach them? A gun went off. I immediately ran. However, some guy then tackled me to the ground. I hit him. It wasn’t that hard though. Still, he looked up at me, but, he was confused instead of angry. I told him I was sorry. He told me he’d let it slide and not tell on me. Noted. Hitting people isn’t allowed in the game. That said, the dude released me, and I continued onward. Eventually, I got through all the sections full of people tussling, and made my way to the last start line, or rather finish line, in this case? Either way, reaching the end, I got a high-five from Zac Oyama, before being told to make my way back. Confused, I looked down at the palm of my hand. It had a weird symbol on it; O: After making my way back, I crossed all the lines again, before finally crossing the one we’d began the game on. That said, I look around for my teammates. I actually found most of them. We all had different marks on our hands. Still confused though, I asked them how exactly the game was played, and how we could win. Literally all we had to do was collect every symbol. So now, just waiting on our last few members, we cheered them on.
