nothing real is ever fine. - bryan smith lyrics

Loading...

tires screech outside. dude 2 stands up. there’s a small crash outside. yelling

voice

freeze!

gunshots

the boy and dude 2 look at each other

———————————————————————————-

dude 2 stands and moves to the front door

…wait…

…this doesn’t feel right…

…i can’t…

…i haven’t…

the boy’s eyes open. he’s on a bus. like a camp bus. it smells like dirt and pine needles. dust coats even the smallest corner

he looks around and blinks, to make sure he’s not dreaming

he looks out the window. there’s his father. no chauffeur. no limo. just his dad in a flannel shirt next to a ratty–ss honda. he’s been waiting a long time

young voice

hey

the boy looks over to the row across from him. a small, skinny black kid sits there. he wears an orange camp t-shirt. he looks sad

the boy

hey. what are you doing here?

kid

i don’t get to leave. not yet

the boy

but your dad’s waiting for you. your life is waiting for you

the kid shrugs

kid

it’s fine

nothing real is ever fine. he’s lying. it’s not fine

how long has he been here?

someone wrote “roscoe’s wetsuit” in sharpie bubble letters on the seat back in front of him. scirbbled next to it, “jay wuz here!” someone drew a gun pointing to the word “jay”

the boy stands and looks the kid right in the eyes

the boy

hey. i’m sorry

the kid doesn’t smile. but he seems different. lighter, somehow

kid

yeah

a moment. the boy looks out the window past the kid. it’s hard to see in the distance, but a guy and a girl are helping their friend out of a pool

looks like he fell in, or maybe he was pushed. doesn’t really matter

he’s out now

the boy walks down the aisle to the bus doors. they creep open for him. he grabs the handrail and steps

off the bus
