MY PARENTS WOKE me. They’d just come back from an excellent bingo evening, with drinks. They’d won a coupon to come back to the campsite in October. They thought I seemed listless. The temperature was so pleasant at this time of day. Why wasn’t I outside with the others? To cheer me up, they suggested we go eat dinner at the best restaurant in Dax. We wouldn’t be back too late; I’d still have time to enjoy the last evening with my friends, maybe even my girlfriend…

“Stop.”
