Avery waited outside of Pastor Durham's office, which also doubled as a cabin for the Camp Leaders as well as Durham himself. The office portion was a room in the middle of the cabin with a short hallway / waiting area leading up to it. There were...
Sunshine Days - Chapter 27
Avery, Joey, and Henry finally left the tabby cat alone after a harsh interrogation, which in all lasted less than five minutes. It had felt a lot longer to Jonathan as he'd been on the receiving end of the aggressive examination. The silence that...
Sunshine Days - Chapter 26
When Jonathan rounded the corner, still lost in his own little world and humming, he nearly ran into Avery, who had been standing in his path to get to the bench. He'd rarely run into anyone behind the cabin before then, except for David on one...
Sunshine Days - Chapter 25

Sunshine Days - Chapter 19
Jonathan had thought that after a very long day of physical activity, mental and emotional stress, and a droning, overly sanctimonious film he'd be worn out enough to fall asleep without having to take his Lunatol. Crawling in to bed, he had felt his...
