Girl Scout Summer Camp

SUMMER CAMP

Allison and Andrea Lockwood were excited. The twin 15 year olds had just been told that their applications to be counselors at the girl scout summer camp had been approved, and that Allison would be in charge of a cabin of 11 year olds, while Andrea would take on 12 year olds.

One of the programs called for an evening cookout, with the campers and counselors being provided with hot dogs and condiments from the dining hall. The camp had already provided pre-selected cookout sites, and the ones for Andrea's and Allison's cabins weren't too far apart. Close enough for the twins to get together for the roasting of s'mores, and the telling of ghost stories.

One by one, the girls told what they thought was a scary story, some of which sent shivers up and down the spines of the others. There were tales of Angus MacAlpine and MacAlpine Manor, and how young girls and boys were victims of old Angus' ghost, and of being tied and gagged in a hotel room at the old ghost town by outlaws, which gave some of the girls thought about being tomboys. In others, it instilled a greater sense of, and desire for, adventure.

“Your turn!” 12 year old 'Becca said to Andrea, and the others cheered her on.

“It's gonna be really scary!” Andrea said, “So y'all better be ready.”

The 11 and 12 year olds said they were ready, and Andrea started, with a story of how a cousin who had come by for a weekend visit, went out to explore the woods behind their house. Not too far into the woods, they came across a body, with its hands tied behind its back, and tightly gagged.

Andrea said that she moved toward the body, and placed her index and middle fingers on the neck of the body. She said she didn't feel a pulse.

Speaking in hushed tones, causing the group of girls to lean closer, to hear every word, Andrea said “I think I know the problem.” She almost whispered.

Slightly louder, her twin asked “What's that?”

“He's Dead!” Andrea shouted.

A dozen girls fell backward. Two with very noticeable wet spots on their jeans.

Brittany and Susan complained. “You made us pee in our panties!” they said.

Allison and Andrea stripped off their sweat shirts, and gave them to the two embarrassed girls. “Here, this'll cover ya, until ya get back to the cabin, an' can shower an' change.” Andrea said.

Brittany and Susan gratefully accepted the offering.
