Chapter 42

Name: Amaris

When Zero gained the strength to dig a hole, when it was completed it was around six feet deep and he separated the water from the dirt, by filling the bottom with rocks. Zero proclaimed it was the last hole he'll dig, but Stanley thought otherwise. Walking towards Big Thumb they spotted a hole and presumed it contained water. Previously, the air smelled bitter, the smell of onions. As two evenings had gone by, Stanley felt no reason to feel the joy he had felt, due to his unhappy school life. He had a thought and it seemed to him that zero had been at Camp for ages, but remembered if Zero hadn't taken the pair of shoes, they would not know one another. He was glad, as he fixed his eyes on the sparking night sky. Stanley had a thought about attempting to sneak into the Camp's kitchen, but soon came to realise how crazy he was thinking. Stanley recalled the golden tube that had the initial K B. He leaned over to shake Zero's arm, to ask if he would be up for the challenge of digging one last hole.
