He was too happy to fall asleep. He knew he had no reason to be happy.
He had heard or read somewhere that right before a person freezes to death, he suddenly feels nice and warm.
He wondered if perhaps he was experiencing something like that.
It occurred to him that he couldn’t remember the last time he felt happiness.
It wasn’t just being sent to Camp Green Lake that had made his life miserable.
Before that he’d been unhappy at school, where he had no friends, and bullies like Derrick Dunne picked on him.
No one liked him, and the truth was, he didn’t especially like himself.
He liked himself now. He wondered if he was delirious. He looked over at Zero sleeping near him.
Zero’s face was lit in the starlight, and there was a flower petal in front of his nose that moved back and forth as he breathed.
It reminded Stanley of something out of a cartoon. Zero breathed in, and the petal was drawn up almost touching his nose.
Zero breathed out, and the petal moved toward his chin. It stayed on Zero’s face for an amazingly long time before fluttering off to the side.
Stanley considered placing it back in front of Zero’s nose, but it wouldn’t be the same.
