Where?

The funny thing is, I noticed all of these details with perfect clarity even though there was no light on him.  The only light was flooding in behind him from the bathroom.

He smiled.

It was a smile you felt.  Perfect teeth, perfect mood for a perfect night.

He said, "Time to go, Jake."
And I said, "Go where?"
"Time to go."

He turned slowly on his heel and walked out of Clark cabin.  I removed the covers, stepped down from my bunk and followed him out.  In the morning, I woke up on the bench next to the door.  I was seventeen.
