Adam was haunted by the guilt of almost forgetting his friend. Today, Rodney was a phantom face in buried in a coffin in the back of Adam’s mind. Adam felt an immense guilt from ignoring Rodney and he thought to visit Rodney after school that day. Adam wondered why he felt so uneasy about being alone today. Rodney wasn’t the paradigm of a punctual student and he occasionally skipped school yet today he felt so unsettled like a house on cards in sand. He had such a nice day and it was without Rodney.
