As the night fell, Jason felt the glee enter his body. Another year had passed, and the holiday spirit was settling over the quiet lakeside camp.
His mother ironed his costume. She sharpened his Matchette. The campers were unpacking their bags, blissfully unaware of what was to come.
Ah. Friday the thirteenth. The perfect holiday. Jason thought of putting his mask on and waving his mother goodbye. Another year, another slicing spree.

Jane sighed and added the box to the bag marked "Lead disposal."
