It was summer camp and I was 12 years old. The game was called “Capture the Flag.” The goal is for one of two teams to capture the enemy’s flag, and return it to their base. Our battlefield was spread over a huge forest with rolling hills.
I was determined to be the hero from my team, and I set out to be the first one to find the enemy’s camp. The only problem was, the camp location was not revealed to us, and we had to search quietly to find it, or risk capture. A kid could not ask for much more excitement than this.
