THUMP-DRAG

ONCE THERE WAS A COUNSELOR WHO WENT TO REACH FOR SOMETHING
IN THE NATURE HUT AND SPILLED ACID ON HIS FACE. HE TRIED
TO GET TO THE LAKE TO WASH HIS FACE, ON THE WAY DOWN HE
BROKE HIS LEG. HE IS SAID TO WALK THROUGH THE CAMP NOW.
AT NIGHT YOU CAN HEAR THE THUMP-DRAG OF HIS LEG AND CAN
SEE HIS FACE IN THE WINDOW OF THE NATURE HUT.

Submitter comment: FACE OF CAMP COUNSELOR IS SCARRED BY ACID. CALLED THUMP-DRAG BECAUSE
OF HIS BROKEN LEG. CAN STILL BE SEEN AND HEARD.
