Fire Solves All Problems Perfectly pt 26

Jason holds out his hand, and you have no choice, you shake it and the three of you walk the downward slope back to the tunnel entrance where a man is emerging, fishing poles in hand; as they pass he is baiting his hooks from a coffee can full of nightcrawlers. You kids shouldn’t be out here, he says. It’s dangerous.

You look at him like he is crazy, and then you are racing up the trail, and you beat Jason easy and then decide to let Tim win, though when Jason raises his arm like Rocky and says he’s the coolest dude in the world you wish you hadn’t.
