My heart didn’t let me sleep. It was pounding all night, and no matter how much I read Gene’s bear book, no matter how many push-ups and sit-ups I did in my room, I couldn’t tire myself out. It’s because I’m excited. Tomorrow morning we’re leaving for the Grand Tetons. I’m not scared that Sandy might eat me or that Gene will get sick and die. No, I’m just excited because I’ve been waiting for this trip for so long. I’m not going to look into the fact that today is Halloween. It’s not a bad sign. I mean, this is my favorite holiday of the year. I take a lot of deep breaths in the shower, staring at the bottle of shampoo. Two hunters from Ohio got killed. It’s crazy that a bear would do that. Why did she do that? Bears rarely attack humans. They were just hanging out in their tent and then bam, they’re dead. I turn off the shower. I towel off my hair. I can’t believe I didn’t know bulls were male elk. I told Karen that I’m this awesome hunter, but there isn’t anything on my profile except for a couple of pictures of me at karaoke and my two-year-old profile pic of Brighton with his arm around my shoulder after ultimate Frisbee.
What do You think about There Will Be Bears (2014)?
