“This isn't a Girl Scout camp," said Mr. Sir, spitting out a mouthful of sunflower seeds onto the ground, then added, “but I’ll protect you little girls from those yellow-spotted lizards if I have to.”
It seemed to have been lost on Mr. Sir that someone had died from a yellow-spotted lizard earlier that day. Or maybe he truly just didn’t care.
Stanley was led back to the camp with the other campers, who seemed exhausted and grouchy.
There were six large gray tents, and each one had a black letter on it: A, B, C, D, E, or F. The first five tents were for the campers. The counselors slept in F.
Stanley was assigned to D tent. Mr. Pendanski was his counselor.
"My name is easy to remember," said Mr. Pendanski as he shook hands with Stanley just outside the tent. "Three easy words: pen, dance, key."
A boy trudged over with two other boys. They were introduced by Mr. Pendanski as Jose, Theodore, and Ricky. They called themselves Magnet, Armpit, and Zigzag.
"They all have nicknames," explained Mr. Pendanski. "However, I prefer to use the names their parents gave them—the names that society will recognize them by when they return to become useful and hardworking members of society."
"It ain't just a nickname," X-Ray told Mr. Pendanski. He tapped the rim of his glasses. "I can see inside you, Mom. You've got a big fat heart."
Another boy sat alone at a table, motionless. The group didn’t seem concerned. Mr. Pendanski nodded towards the boy.
"That’s Zero. You know why his name's Zero?" asked Mr. Pendanski. "Because there's nothing inside his head." He smiled and playfully shook Zero's shoulder.
Zero said nothing.
Because he was dead.
S~V~S has died! She was
