Huffing and puffing and
grumbling in indignation, you get your stuff together, pace out of the
cabin, and go look for someone in charge to have you reassigned to a
different cabin. Looking around the camp for a while and getting sent
this way and that, you finally locate the head counselor.
Horror begins to dawn on you as the counselor tells you to 'have fun' and walks away. The boys survey you with cold, calculating cruelty as they circle around you and push you into the cabin. You spend the rest of camp polishing shoes, cleaning latrines (the other kids insist you call them that and not 'toilets'), and doing all sorts of demeaning chores lest you get beaten to a pulp. The experience leaves you traumatized for life to a state where you are afraid to take any initiative. You grow up to be alone and miserable, forced to live on welfare. On your 30th birthday you get hit by a car and end up a paraplegic in the hospital. The only person who comes to visit you is some fat friend of your father's whose name you forgot, who just steals your pain medication and sits on your catheter. One day a dull-witted nurse accidentally wheels you into an operating room where you receive an unwanted sex change. |
