>insert and family is out on their yearly camping trip. The day is a normal clear day. The drive to the camping grounds is along a paved dirt road with trees to both sides. There are trees to both sides and the road is quite long, insert is waking up from his sleep and this is where the story starts…<

Chapter 1: back again for the dozenth time.

I wake from my sleep with a bang to my head and an instant headache. I quickly jolt up with the music from my phone still playing in my ears. It’s house music, with bleed from the car's stereo. I look out the window to my right seeing the bumpy gravel road and a wall of pine trees… as we pass the trees it all looks so similar like a pattern on loop… there’s very little fauna on the ground due to the lack of light caused by the canopy of the trees… any part of light that does shine threw looks like a small island in a sea of orange dead plant remains…

    I look forward seeing that my parents sitting in the front seat. Lightly bobbing and dipping their heads to the music that they're listening to. Dads tapping his fingers on the wheel while he’s snickering about something, while mom taps her hand on the wheel. i can't stand the “best of the 80’s” rock my dad likes so much. Not for the fact it’s rock, but for the idea of listening to the same song for the 200th time is just too much. I would love for him to be a little more open minded about his music choices but it’s just a never ending uphill battle with bad puns mocking the1 edm artist he knows i like and endless claiming that edm isn’t music. But i got my lovely headphones which have broke at least 10 times but i'm too cheap to replace them and i can deal with the slight noise they give off.

    I look to my right noticing my younger brother and sister some how sleeping threw that massive pot hole. My brothers against the left door. Drool running down his face and down the door dripping on the handle. My sister’s head is tilted right forward supported only by her neck and her chest. I move my left arm noticing how uncomfortable it is and i can quickly feel all the blood rushing back into my arm making me feel like i got dozens of pins suddenly stuck in my arm. I notice dad glance in the rear view mirror look back in the mirror and notice that i’m now awake. I can notice him talking but can’t hear a word he’s saying due to my music. Take an ear bud out to hear the middle of his “good morning world” speech…

“-lmost at the camp ground! Can’t wait for this weekend! How about you kid?”

“other than the recent blunt force trauma to my head i think alright…”

“Yeah, meant to hit that one. Was hoping you and the others would wake up!”

    “welp, your plan worked for one of us…”

“Meh, better one than none…”

        “thanks, my brain cells appreciate it…”

Mom quickly buts into the conversation sensing my bitter mood.

        “Hey hun, could you please take this piece of paper to the office once we park at the camp ground and tell them that we’ve arrived?”

    “sure, i can probably say hi so shawn while i’m there.”

        “Thanks, hun!”

I notice we’re right beside the office as she says this and i quickly jump out of the car ignoring the whole wait “till we park” so i don't have to wait 10 minutes for dad to back it.

I look upon the rotting shack thinking of how this place was when i was much younger. Now it just looks like an old house outta a bad horror movie. I look thru the window on the door trying to see shawn while i walk in. i quickly hear a chime followed by shawns voice coming from behind the counter,

“Just a second!”

    I look over the counter seeing the big guys ass move back and forth while trying to do something to the computer. I look around the office placing the paper on the counter, noticing a chair behind me. Kick the chair behind me and fall back into it. Making a screeching across the floor. I see a small spark and shawn's voice quickly follows

“FUCK! Shit shouldn't have said that with a customer in here. Fuck, shouldn’t have said that… i should just shut the fuck up… i’m just going to shut up…”

    “yea, ya should.”

“Hey! Is that you insert?!”

    “yup” (adding a popping sound after words.)

“Hey, i know i asked you this the other day but why did you literally change all your usernames to that?”

    “a bunch of annoying idiots in school where mocking me in school, they were pissed i was inserted into their group last year even though i did literally all of the work and got them a high b. buy anyways they started calling me insert along with rest of the school. It started to bug me but i decided to own it and it still bugs me but least i own it and other people can’t use it to bug me. a kinda win…”

“Well, ya should stop moving so much”

    “ya, i can totally control what my parents do”

“Oh hey, did you know the tides supposed to be really low tonight?

    “yay, another low tide. we can go pick dead seaweed and watch crabs eat dead starfish.”

“No, it’s supposed to be really low.”

    “okay, i see what you’re getting at. how low?”

“Low enough to see the what's at the bottom of sandy bay...”

    “what’s at the bottom?”

“No once can tell, the currents so strong they can’t send divers in there because they’ll get pinned against the bays seamounts.” and the sand causes whatever is down there to be distorted. They got a good idea what’s down there but they're not completely certain.”

    “okay. so there’s going to be a massively low tide on a super crowded beach, you know how i hate being in crowded areas…”

“Dude, thats the best part! Did you hear about that big earthquake yesterday up north?”

“no, i’ve been in a car for the last 2 days with the only access to internet being the hotel wi-fi for 30min before i passed out at 4am, and the 3 gigs of cell data, no wait. 1.5 gigs because i need the other half to get back and i’m not wasting it looking for news.”

“Okay okay i get ya, i know you’re a music whore”

    “bitch you know i am!”

“Anyways, there is going to be another one tonight that’s supposed to cause a huge rip! an-”

    “how big?”

“Huge! At least  250 km long and 50 km wide there expecting!”

    “woah, where is it happening?”

“That’s the best and probably only good part! From ahousat down to seattle!” there’s a huge evacuation going on because of it!”

    “ya realize we’re there right?”

“Ya, my parents already jumped ship. They were practically dragging me out the door but i convinced them to let me stay!”

    “how?!”

“Well i told them what i told you at the beginning.”

    “I know you better than that. What you actually say?”

“...i told them i’d watch over the visitors…”

    “was that so hard?”

“Yeah! If i skip work to go to this this thing you’ll tell my parents!”

    “dude, i said something that you did which i don’t even think is or was bad in front of old staff of this place. when we were 8! we’ve literally doubled our life since then. and other than that technicality i would never tell on you! You’ve covered me more than enough! now shut up and when’s this thing happening?”

“It’s supposed to fracture at around 1am tonight.”

    “what’s supposed to fracture?”

“Remember 8th grade scie-”

    “ohhhhhh, so a tectonic plate is going to break off tonight? or at least a chunk?”

“Before you interrupted me i was going to tell you that but yeah, it is…”

    “so you wanna meet up on the beach later tonight? just us?”

“No man! I gotta work!”

    “uhhh, we’re the only ones staying here tonight. literally the whole campground is empty except for us. and probably the town now that i think about it.”

“Fine! You promise not to tell!”

    “what are we? 8 again? of course i won’t tell on you if you come! but i might say ya did if ya don’t!”

“Fine! I’ll come but you better not tell!”

    “for the 3rd time i won’t, and this is your thing not mine. you should be pumped!”

“I am but i’m also scared about what my parents might say or do if they find out!”

I turn around walk towards the door and walk thru the door and say

“they won’t meet me at my campground tonight!

And i shut the door behind me.
