Question

graders in the halls. it was the culmination of our time in elementary school, one last hurrah before we moved on to middle school. we had been at the camp for less than a day, and already we regretted it.
camp louella sits on the border between texas and oklahoma—three hours on the bus and another hour learning camp procedures made for an exhausting day. dinner was served at 6:30 every evening. it was 5:15, and already the boys were starving. we huddled in a shelter beneath the cabin and listened. the silence was electric.
“mr. chestnut, i really have to use the bathroom!” pleaded ben. the rest of us giggled.
“i can’t let you leave the shelter right now. there are tornadoes nearby,” he explained.
“but—”
“the human bladder is made to hold sixteen ounces of liquid. you’ll be fine,” he broke in.
“well, we’re in trouble because i just drank twenty ounces of soda,” he whined. laughter filled the cramped space.
to the southwest, a string of storms spread across oklahoma. small tornadoes littered the landscape with branches and debris. one had been spotted in the county adjacent to ours at 5:10. another dropped at 5:22 and another at 6:00. they were mild with weather back home.
storms down south were funny that way. they could turn an afternoon black as night or make the evening glow like a city skyline.
