On a bench, 200 feet in the air Tess had her first kiss with a fellow camp counselor, the breakup was not quite so picturesque....

In short order they moved into his cabin, they fell in love. Then they broke up. Tess moved to a cabin 200 feet away. She decided she had been a good girlfriend and resolved to be mature. Later, 50 new staff arrived, including Simone, who caught her first ex’s eye. Simone and her ex-boyfriend had a fling. Tired of being a bystander in her ex-boyfriends love life she talked to the new fling. She explained how it would be better for the camp if they broke up. The new girl was nothing but kind. Infuriatingly. Repeatedly. It did not end well...

Tess was voted the audience favorite, and the StorySlam winner by our judges!

Do what you love and the money will follow? It doesn’t. Marjorie can think of three people who get to do what they love. Marjorie just wants something she doesn’t hate. She got a job at a financial services place. Her boss spoke entirely in sports metaphors. But she wanted to fit in. After being there a month her boss said he needed to have a word with her. It turned out to be about her clothes. Her boss told her to wear less colorful clothing. Marjorie was offended. But she went to the professional training her boss told her to. Where she told not to use big hand gestures. That was against her nature. Later the company “restructured” and fired all the black people. Her boss told her he didn’t see color. Marjorie went to HR a week later and was let go.
