Farther away there was a cabin beneath two tall trees. Those two trees were the only plant life he could see. There weren’t even weeds.
The guard led Stanley to a small building. A sign on front said, YOU ARE ENTERING CAMP GREEN LAKE JUVENILE CORRECTIONAL FACILITY.
Next to it was another sign which declared that it was a violation of the Texas Penal Code
to bring guns, explosives, weapons, drugs, or alcohol onto the premises.
As Stanley read the sign he couldn’t help but think, Well, duh!
The guard led Stanley into the building, where he felt the welcome relief of air-conditioning.
A man was sitting with his feet up on a desk. He turned his head when Stanley and the guard entered, but otherwise didn’t move.
Even though he was inside, he wore sunglasses and a cowboy hat.
He also held a can of soda, and the sight of it made Stanley even more aware of his own thirst.
He waited while the bus guard gave the man some papers to sign.
“That’s a lot of sunflower seeds,” the bus guard said. Stanley noticed a burlap sack filled with sunflower seeds on the floor next to the desk.
“I quit smoking last month,” said the man in the cowboy hat.
