Letter from Summer Camp
By
Y Lee Coyote <YLeeCoyote@juno.com>
Dear Mom and Dad,
Everything is ***NOT!!!!*** OK here in Camp Whackafanny. I want to come home -- IMMEDIATELY!!!!!! Please.
Yes, everything is just like they showed in the brochure -- nice playing fields -- private lake for swimming and boating and fishing -- state park to hike in and -- just like they showed -- empty. We don't go swimming or play games. We just do callisthenics and running.
It's what they did not show.
The head councillor carries a paddle -- it about three feet long and five inches wide and a half inch thick and he likes to use it all the time. One can tell when he is coming from the screams. The other councillors have smaller paddles -- only two feet long -- or tawses (see I learnt a new word here that I rather I hadn't) that are 2.5 feet long and quarter inch thick leather. There seem to be a contest among the councillors to see who can strap the most of us prisoners, er, campers each day. We don't have seats in the dinning hall because we eat standing up. Well, to be honest we can't sit because it hurts to much.
Remember how you were pleased at how small the clothes requirement were well that's because we just wear jock straps and trainers. They don't want us to have any protection at all.
Your loving and hurting son,
Chester
Certain that the outgoing mail was checked, Chester was happy he had a supply of stamped envelopes and managed to run by the post vehicle and flip his letter inside. He was certain that he would be sprung in a couple of days.
But things did not work out as he expected. Two days later at the evening assembly, the head councillor announced that before the movie, they would show the pictures that had been posted to the camp's website. Chester noticed that several of them showed him playing ball and swimming and hoped his parents left before they were posted.
Then to his surprise, his letter appeared on the screen and drew lots of laughter. When everyone calmed down, he was called forward. Confronted, he claimed it was just a joke.
"LIES AND LIBEL ARE NOT FUNNY, YOUNG MAN. Not funny at all." He paused. Chester then realized that the screen was gone and the stage just had a vaulting horse on it. "There a price that must be paid."
He was grabbed by a couple of the councillors and dragged over to the horse. He lost his shorts as he was bent over and held in place.
"It about time that you learnt about paddles and tawses, young man."
The head councillors held up a fraternity paddle and then gave him six WHACKS. Chester yelled for each one. He got another six cuts with a tawse. He yelled some more.
And the entire camp saw how his bottom turned red and heard him cry. He was parked in a front corner with a spot light on him.
"And now campers, the movie."
The End

This is a little awkward for me since I had read it on the newsgroup yesterday and have
already commented there. However, I will do my best! Since I obviously already know the author I will go ahead and refer to him by name. YLee always writes very interesting M/m stories and this one was no different.
I liked the plot but found it feeling a little unexplained at the end. It felt like it ended too abruptly but of course that often happens in a short story. I also had a small amount of confusion as to whether or not the events in the child's note home had really happened. However, on a second reading I realized it really didn't matter and decided I liked that you could interpret it as you liked.
All in all it was a good story but I've seen this author do better.

I wasn't expecting the letter to be untrue (with a camp name like Whackafanny, I would expect spanking to be a regular part of camp life), so the story did contain a nice twist. I guess the camp directors can't complain about «lies and libel» now; Chester wrote that he was getting paddled and tawsed, and that's exactly what happened to him.
I don't usually comment about grammatical errors in a story, but there were quite a few of them in this one, and they did get distracting.

The spanking scene could have had more detail and the letter home not so much but this was a good story.
