zell awakened with a jolt. he shifted to remove the sleeping mask from his eyes, his movements sluggish but his senses on complete alert. he could vaguely recall hearing loud, imposing thumps upon the forest ground just outside the cabin. footsteps, perhaps? he briefly considered the possibility of it being a wayward counselor or simply a camper unable to fall asleep. but the sound was too heavy, too intimidating to be another kalon. eagerly, zell rose from his bed and peered out the window just above his sleeping spot. the light of the half moon barely illuminated the woods beyond, and as far as zell's eyes could see, nothing appeared to be out of the ordinary. but i certainly heard... something.
the potential for a brief adventure was too great for zell to pass up by simply curling back up under his blankets and falling back asleep. he cast the sheets aside and hopped onto the floor from the top bunk of his assigned bed. he landed with a gentle thud before proceeding to tiptoe his way out of the cabin, ears perked and eyes widened to make sure he didn't miss a single thing.
once he'd emerged from the hushed interior of the wooden building, he withdrew his phone from his pocket; immediately, he rang up his twin brother wysp. at first, there was no answer, but zell was persistent. after about four more unanswered calls, the familiar-- yet groggy-- face of his brother finally appeared on the dim screen.
"what... what could you possibly want, zell? it's two in the morning--" wysp's croaky voice sounded through the speakers. zell grinned at him. his eyes scanned the dense trees ahead, looking for any sign of movement. any sign of a... cryptid?
"i'm goin' squatchin', brother."
wysp promptly hung up.
whatever! when i get video proof of bigfoot, i'll be sure not to share any of that sweet money with you! ... asshat.
