My two best friends from school were coming for the New Year’s party into my house, so I drew a welcoming Happy New Year poster for this occasion, with the three of us eating little black camels and drinking black camel milk. We called ourselves the Black Camel Society, among other absurd and nonsensical things I remember we did when we were 16. The seven-point star was our emblem, which years later gave me a tickling feeling of presence while reading George R.R. Martin’s Game of Thrones books.
