Broken Glass

Anat slowly hiked the trail. She passed the old dining hall, overgrown ballfield and shower house.  She managed to walk in the direction of Marc’s campsite and saw his leanto. She didn’t know it was his. But she went inside and saw his name plastered all over. Many other names, too. In her heart, she felt bad. She could have had a nice time in her camp and went up for alumni weekends. But due to her craziness and her lack of paternal love she was a psycho.

Alana and Marc were being pelted with glass. Jay was in top form. He was still in the lake.  Alana ducked away. Marc got on the floor and rose and started firing pomegranates. Once caught Jay in his left eye. Alana jumped up fired several apples. She was holding back on the wine.  She wanted to knock him down and then drown him in it. She wanted him out of the lake. She figured Marc could trap him with honey as he was emerging.

Anat decided not to go up the hill. It looked too scary to her. She was afraid a bear might attack her. She had no idea if bears could be taken out with dried fruit. She didn’t want to find out. She started walking along the trail to the waterfront. She got to the main site by the docks. She snapped a photo with her phone and kept walking. As she got closer to the dam she heard screams.

Alana was pelted in the knees with shattered glass. She went down to the ground and was bleeding. Marc looked at her. She told him to leave her alone and keep fighting. She said she’d stay grounded for a few minutes and jump back in. Jay started running out of the lake. Marc hit him in the neck with pomegranates. He shot honey into his eyes. They shut. Alana jumped and unloaded gallons of red wine all over him. His nose and ears were full out of it. She hit in him the eyes and blurred his vision.

Anat’s 20/20 vision saw what was going on at the dam. She started running in that direction. She saw Marc and Alana battling Jay. She wanted to join them. She feared when she got there they’d attack her. She could fight them. She remembers when they trounced her in Flushing-Meadows Corona Park. She knows she and Alana bumped into each other several times at Alana’s aunt’s apartment building. But they were not friends. Doubt they ever would be. But Anat would give it a chance.

Jay was falling. Alana was pelting him with apples. Barley flew out of Marc’s eyes.

Jay took a breather and got back into form. Marc and Alana were being smacked. But holding steady.

Then all of a sudden out of nowhere, Jay was hit in the back of the head his neck with cannonball sized raisins and dates. Apricots, too.
