Chad the sleeping bag had plenty of time to think rolled up, and crammed into Jim's automobile trunk. At least, Chad assumed that was where Jim had stowed him. Maybe it was an SUV or pickup bed? He couldn't remember what kind of vehicle Jim had. It stopped a least twice, and more stuff was piled in on top of Chad. So there had to be at least two more campers beside Jim.
Chad wracked his brains. Who else had Jim invited besides Chad? Most of the football team, Chad remembered. Maybe there were several cars caravaning to camp. Did any of them know that their friend and teammate was now a sleeping bag? Did all of them know?
Chad wallowed in self pity and frustration at his fate for the next four hours. Finally, the vehicle stopped. He heard heavy metal doors opening and closing.
"Oh, sweet, let's setup camp over here!" Bruno said.
"Nah. This is just where we park. There's a great camping spot just a couple miles east by the lake," Jim said.
"Oh, yeah, "Chad's Secret Cove"!" laughed Rick.
So Rick, Bruno, and Jim were here. Who else? Chad wondered. He was kind of pissed that they were going to the sweet campsite that he had discovered years ago and named Chad's Secret Cove. It was located on private land belonging to Chad's grandfather. There was a makeshift wooden pergola that he, Rick and Bruno had built adjacent to the floating dock that they had also built with Chad. Maybe he wouldn't be a sleeping bag, if he had just agreed to go camping.
People were rifling around in the trunk loading up their backpacks to carry there stuff to the campsite. Chad felt a rope or bungy cord securing is foreskin wrapped body to something. He presumed it was Jim's backpack.
The trunk was slammed; and the group of 3 or maybe more began hiking. About 30 minutes later, Chad heard someone exclaim, "I forgot my sleeping bag!"
"No worries," Jim laughed, "You can share mine. Or maybe would could zip my bag to another, and have 3 in a sack?"
Oh, no, thought Chad. He imagined his three naked buddies getting all hot and sweaty inside him. Were they all in on this prank or was it just Jim? How far would Jim take this? Chad was resigned for the worst.
He barely paid attention to the inconsequential conversations that punctuated the 2 mile hike. Only when they stopped and got ready to setup camp did the topic of conversation turn to Chad.
"Can't believe Chad blew us off"
"I wish"
"Ha! Yeah, like that would ever happen."
"Hey, did I tell you Chad loaned me this sleeping bag?" Jim said with a sly smile. Chad could hear the smile in Jim's voice.
Maybe Jim would change him back in the morning? Wait that would be worse. They didn't have enough sleeping bags as it was, so they would change him back into a sleeping bag that night, and everyone would know.
