My story, Masquerade at Well Country Camp is up! Drop by and take a look. Then come back here and tell me what you think! It's based on a photo I found in a book I got for Christmas.

Well done, BG. I'm grinning like the goob I am over here. :D
"Masquerade..." captures the mysterious memories of "Well Country Camp", remnants of which waft through the shadows even today. I'm the oldest (in chronological age - 74) resident of what once was "Well Country Camp," after being founded as Camp KillGloom in the first decade of the 20th century, the first TB recovery camp on the east side of the Sandia Mountains, and the first Anglo residents there.
Once TB was curable (c. 1943) Well Country Camp became Pauly's Ranch, then in 1950 Hobbies NM (current population on 45 acres = 9).
We all are drinking spring water which has been free flowing continuously since Coronado visited c. 1540.
Coming to the story with only my experience of reading your other work had me looking for the distopian elements. There was a lot of distopia in those camps.
