Bee Season
“Until now, three thirty has been a time only inhabited by adults like his mother, a time suspected to harbor great secrets. By setting foot inside this mysterious temporal zone, Aaron is certain he will be making a foray into his own adulthood. He is still child enough to believe that adulthood brings certainty and self-confidence. In waking at 3:30 A.M., Aaron anticipates that the strength to face his father will sprout from an internal seed waiting to take root.
Aaron’s sleeping bag does ...little to cushion the floor beneath him. He cherishes the hardness beneath his hip, likes feeling the temple at bone level. Having never shared a room before, Aaron is struck by the profound sense of closeness he feels to those around him: their unguarded faces and resting limbs, the quiet rise and fall of their chests. He times his own breathing to coincide with his roommates’, imagines them as a single body.
