-Just another Day-



It was so monotonous down in Camp Green Lake. Sure, it was sunny every single day of the week. But to the 'campers' it wasn't a good thing. It meant over 90 degree heat. 90 degree heat while you dug a hole that was a foot or less smaller than yourself.

Squid was the toughest kid in D-Tent, maybe even Camp Green Lake. No one messed with him. Not even X-Ray. Everyone of course knew why he was there. He was convicted of stealing and breaking into houses. No one of course knew about his true past..



"Water truck!" X-Ray called out as he hopped out of his hole.



Everyone went to their own place in line.



"How many time do I have to knock you on your ass before you realize this isn't your place in line!" Squid yelled in Magnet's face before grabbing the smaller boy and slamming him into the dirt.



Doesn't anything change in this place? though Squid. Same old, same old, hotter than hell, wake up at 4:30, dig, go to water truck, get cut in line, dig some more, take a shower, eat shit they call food, and struggle to get to sleep on a rock-hard cot!



Squid was having a frustrating day, even though things went the way they did everyday. He felt like he was going to be sick. Memories from his home life haunted him on a daily basis. It was his one and only weakness. No one was to ever know of this.



He got his canteen filled and walked back to his hole to continue digging, and wouldn't stop digging until he was finished, or if he collapsed from a physical and mental breakdown. He was unusually quiet today, and obviously someone noticed..



"What's up with you today?" A soft voice came from above him. Squid turned to face them, it was Barf Bag.



"What are you talking about?" Squid asked, pretending to not know what he was talking about.



"Oh give me a break, man. By now, you would have made over twenty smart ass remarks to Mr. Sir." Barf Bag commented, in doubt of Squid's answer.



"I'm just having a shitty day, alright? I've been here for seven months. Every single day has been the same, and that's how it's going to be for the next seventeen months, or at least until I die, whichever comes first." Squid complained as he sat in his hole, in misery.



"Don't talk like that, man, you're not going to die." Barf Bag replied, worry in his voice.



"Hell if I'm going to live with what I got here, I'm lucky I don't die from a heatstroke in the sun, using up all my energy on digging holes. The food here makes me sick to my stomach. I hardly get any sleep, and I have to wake up at the ball crack of dawn." Squid complained.



"That isn't all..." Barf Bag knew there was more..



"I'm no X-Ray, but I can still see there more to that.."



Squid didn't respond, his head between his knees and hands, he was too weak from stress and digging to continue digging or talk to anyone.



"Are you going to be alright?" Barf Bag said after a awkward silence.



"I'll.....I'll be fine.." He finally replied.



Barf Bag returned to his hole which was nearby Squid's. He decided to look out for him today, he didn't know what would happen to him if he didn't.



Squid fell into a deep sleep, he actually felt good for once today. Protected by the shade, and only the desert wind fell into his hole, and blew the only brown strands of hair that escaped under his du-rag.



A few hours had passed and most of D-Tent was finished with their hole for the day. Except for Magnet, Barf Bag, and Squid, who was still asleep.



"Bag, what happened to Squid, I haven't seen him all day." Magnet asked Barf Bag.



Barf Bag could trust Magnet, so he told him what happened a few hours ago.



"Squid's not well, I think something's bugging him. If we don't help him, something bad might happen to him, or worse, he could do something bad." Barf Bag whispered to Magnet.



They went to his hole, where Squid was sleeping peacefully. Magnet and Barf Bag carefully carried Squid out of his holes and laid him near it, Magnet considerably pushed the front of his durag over his eyes to shield from the sunlight.



They both dug the remaining one and a half feet of Squid's hole. Just as they were finishing, Squid woke up to the wind brushing on him. He was leaning against a dirt pile instead of the wall of his hole, he pushed up his durag and looked around, and at the sun. It was orange and was going to set in probably an hour.



Just then, Barf Bag and Magnet came to check on Squid.



"You're finally awake.." Barf Bag said in amazement.





"What are you guys still doing here?" Squid said, his voice low with sleep.



"We just got done digging your hole.." Magnet replied



Squid looked at his completely dug hole, and back at them. "Thanks" he said finally.
