[2883] The Light (Part 2)

This is the second and final part of my short story The Light.

When a group of boys encounter a sinister light near their hideaway, a timid misfit has to overcome his fear of it to show the bullying leader he's not a wuss.

Although any critique is welcome, I'd especially appreciate answers to the following questions:

• What did you think of the three main characters?
• What did you think of the light?
• What did you think of the ending?

In the previous part, the boys discovered their secret spot at the lake and saw the light hovering on an isle there. Later, Sam kicked a ball into the water and didn't dare swim to the isle to get it back.

In case you're interested, you can find the first part here.
