The session with no counselor
The counselor never showed up, yet someone signs the register for him. And he is in the photos of every past summer.

How it works
The photograph works as evidence and as a trap at once. First there is one person too many in it, then it turns out the extra one is whoever is looking.
Every story here is fiction. Any resemblance to real people or events is coincidental.
