At least for a little while, at least as long as he thought it was just some of the other guys messing with his tent, trying to poke and punch him through the thin nylon shell. He was the new boy; he could have expected this, especially because he had a hoard of candy that he wasn\u2019t sharing. But now the hoard was gone. The bear had eaten some, scattered the rest, and wandered off, as if bored by all the blood, which fascinated me. I know that\u2019s a strange word to use, <em>fascinated,<\/em> but I was, I am, at how empty and motionless that boy was. I don\u2019t mean Eddie. I mean the kid next to him.
