Tuesday’s Short—Banquet at Magic Mountain
This week’s short story takes us from a colonial world where the colonists are coming to grip with the wildlife to a camp set on a planet far, far away. Welcome to Banquet at Magic Mountain. I hate camp. Every year yada yada yada. The only bright point is Luka, the Wild Man of Camp Mellinjo, an orphan and a stray grown up. When he bolts out of camp with the cook on his tail, I take off to see if I can save him, yet again—and that’s when I discover Camp Mellinjo isn’t what it seems, and neither is Luka. But seriously, guys, would my parents really sell me out? Banquet at Magic Mountain is available as a stand-alone short story at the following links: books2read.com/u/mV7Xqr .
