This new intern, Ashley, was chatting animatedly about Camp Clearwater. He loathed camp, hated the place. It was hell.

"You went to Clearwater?" Ashley asked, her eyes lighting up. "I bet you have some crazy stories! I thought I was the only one who didn't cry when I had to leave."

His hands clenched into fists, the fingernails biting into his palms. He didn’t want to talk about it. The incessant teasing, the forced camaraderie, the utter lack of privacy.

"Yes," he spat. "I went. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have actual work to do." He stormed out, leaving her bewildered.
