Campfire: Enjoy some time away in nature by loreKin
Slice of Life • Half an hour • Choice-based • Ink
This seems to be pretty much what it says it is: a slice-of-life relaxing nature experience. Although I could totally imagine a 30-minute video of “Relaxing Cozy Nature Campfire Ambience 30 Minutes with Crackling and Crickets for Sleep, Meditation, Relaxing, Study”, it’s probably a little more involved than that. Most likely it’s a little story about hanging out in the woods around a campfire, sharing stories.
Less likely, though, it’s not a retreat camp, but a concentration camp. CW because this gets dark and gruesome.
They don’t use regular fire here. Regular fire isn’t strong enough for what they want to do to them—to us. No, here, they use Campfire. Every color you can think of and hot as all hells, making your skin burn even just thinking about it. It’s some cruel sort of joke, calling it camp, because it’s extravagant. But they weren’t all bad. They give us breaks. “Enjoy some time away in nature,” they said, “away from the pain and suffering. You can come back when you’re ready to join us again.” Then they lock the doors and left us in the woods, where the previous campers killed all the game and chopped all the firewood. We would wait, growing hungrier, growing colder, until finally, mercifully, they open their doors again, smiling as they ask us how our little trip was. But they didn’t hurt us, not really. They tortured us, showing video footage of our libraries, our schools, our homes going up in those ravenous rainbow flames. We sat there and watched, grown men breaking for the lives they’ve lost, toddlers bursting into tears for atrocities they were too young to understand. But we didn’t comfort them. We couldn’t, or what happened in the videos would happen in the camps.
To us.
TLDR: enjoy nature…or else
