What a wonderful story. It brought back my own summer camp memories (I was in love with a camp counselor called “Tigger”). The smooth quality of your voice had me right there with you, in the moment. Thank you for sharing your memories.

Thank you, Claudia, for transporting me 30—okay, 40 years back to my childhood.

very charming story. I particularly liked the way you built the suspense - was Larry a sicko preying on little girls or a figment of a little girl’s imagination? Good job.
