Camp Skylight

'Argh, fuck. What happened?', you said to yourself after a fatal blow. Since you feel quite dizzy after the crash, you put a hand on your head to ensure its safety. When you remove it again, you notice a huge stain of blood on your hand...

This Morning

The sun comes up, and it annihilates the gorgeous dawn of a new morning. An 18 year old boy wakes up against his will, because of the rising sun shimmering in his eyes through his window. One day has passed since the result of his finals on school. The results? He has passed. Although, partying is off the board for the boy. The reason for this, is because his mother has registered him for a program abroad. For the record, his mother assumed he would not pass his finals, and thus he would get proper treatment from others while his mother could be away from him for a while. Since she was so certain that he would fail his exams, he registered him beforehand, not being able to revoke the registration. Whether or not the boy would succeed or fail, it didn't really matter to his mother. He was already a pain in the ass for her, due to his 'addiction' to video games. So much for a party for the boy.

The place the boy is assigned for, is a camp in the heart of England. It is a camp for boys, where usually boys with not that many friends go to. There is also a female variant of the camp, although this is obviously not where the boy is assigned to. The boys camp is called: Camp Twilight, while the girls camp is called: Camp Skylight. The age range for the people in both camps would near the late adolescence, that being 18 to 20 years old.

The reason the boy wakes up this early, is because his train departs really early. At the moment, it's 05:00 AM, and his train will depart at 07:00 AM. The train he would take, is a special train that won't have any stops in between. It'll lead straight to the location, where a bus should take him further, to the camp itself. The location of the camp seems so secret, that it even looks like the government is not supposed to know about it.

After taking a shower, eating breakfast and doing the other usual morning things before you go somewhere, the boy kisses his mother goodbye and he departs for the train station where the train would depart. The boy is right on time, and he has 10 minutes to spare. To kill the time, he decides to purchase a sausage roll somewhere in the station. A few minutes after devouring his meal, his train arrives. It sure seems like a special train, the boy thought, since he is the only person that goes in the train. Based on the decor and the looks of the train, it appears to be an automatic train, that does not need a driver. After he takes a seat in a bench somewhere, the doors close and he is ready to go. He checks his pockets to ensure he has everything. Those being a cellphone, earbuds and wallet. The stuff he has carried in his big backpack don't really matter to him. Except for his charger and clothing of course, but he wouldn't forget such precious things. And thus, the train departs.

Few hours have passed already, and the boy about to fall asleep due to boredom. In the meantime, the boy has been watching livestreams on a streaming platform to kill time, but it got boring quickly. He is not really nervous about the camp itself, but since he has nothing to lose, he messages a friend of his to ask for advice on how to survive a camp. Luckily for him, his friend responds quick. 'Such a camp usually is very lame. Just ignore the people who are in charge there, and go have fun with buds you'll make there.', his friend says. 'Will do. I don't expect anything cool anyway. Acting like a thug and making friends will be a cake in the park.', the boy responds. The boy wonders how long it'll take for him to arrive at the camp. He is certain that he is pretty close, he just feels it.

After a few more minutes, the boy notices something strange. The train seems to shake quite a lot the last minute. Since he doesn't care much, he keeps sitting, waiting for the shaking to stop. Although that does not happen. A loud bang could be heard, and his wagon started to shake immensely! He quickly held on to his seat, preparing for possible impact. And at that moment, the start of it all happened. His wagon flipped all over, getting launched into the sky. Still holding grip to his seat, the boy braced for impact. When the wagon landed, his head bumps into the seat in front of him with huge impact. The impact on his head almost knocked him unconscious. After the wagon landed once more on the ground and eventually stopped sliding on the ground, the boy lied on the ground, slowly closing his eyes. Everything went black, just as his idea of what's going on...
