outside. So, picture all of these loud, little ten-year-olds, eager to be the first in line to the restroom with the usual pointless attempts of teachers doing their almost ritualistic ‘shhhhh'ing. We hadn't been standing outside very long when a small car pulled up to the curb of our school, less than two hundred feet away, in perfect view of our curious eyes. The car had screeched to a stop, and three adults had stepped out and moved to the rear of the car, however it wasn't long before one of…
it’s not my fault, and that the weather was bad and all the other reasons people find to not blame me. But every night when I try to go to sleep I can’t get that night out of my head, I constantly relive it. It’s been ten years but I remember it like it was yesterday. My friend, my best friend actually I picked him up at 10 am for work on Friday December 20th, we lived next to each other and worked at the same place, it was a cold gloomy day.
