WHERE: The Lake
NPCs: Lost drunk townie, Ms. Menides
Van waited for Sasha to meet him out by the lake, getting more and more annoyed by the moment by the delay. When the white haired boy finally appeared, Van was irritable. He'd skipped dinner, playing the final of one of his games through the dinner hour, and his growling stomach was making him more testy than usual.
"Did you take the scenic route? God." Shaking his head, Van reached back and caught the back of his shirt collar, pulling the fabric up and over his head. He set it down on a dry rock and started to undo his pants. "No pictures," he warned.
Next off came Van's pants and his underwear. He stepped out of them and took a deep breath. The lake was fogged over, the opposite side invisible through the haze. Van had sunkissed skin all over except for where his swim trunks began just below his hips and ending mid-thigh. Standing naked in the autumn cold evening didn't bother him.
"Okay. Ready? After this, you can stop being so butthurt at me."

Off in the woods, a man breathed heavily as he raced through the trees. He thought, logically, that if he just kept running in one direction that he'd eventually arrive at a landmark. Be it the ocean or someone's property. A fence he could follow back to the road. Last time he drank late at night and let his friends take his keys.
These woods were haunted, the town said. Most people rightly avoided them at night. Weird things happened. Strange sounds came from them. This bloody fog wasn't helping at all.
Heart racing, the man continued his headlong dash, adrenaline adding to the alcohol that addled his senses.
