From West Roxbury to Wrenthem, and it was never the same. It was in the middle of summer, and there was a massive drought all around. As I trotted around in my backyard, the grass felt crispy under my feet. During this time, water had never been more appreciated. Everything all around appeared ravished. The wind blew by with all dryness, purging the life out of one's skin cells. I lived near the woods, and there had always been the threat of hot sawdust blowing in the trees. One day, as I did my homework, all I could smell at one instant was smoke.
"Stop lying and things won't have to be like this." and the slam of a closing cell phone were the last meaningful actions for quite some time. It was horrible. The experienced shook everyone in the vicinity. Never had a breakup had seemed so devastating. As a spectator, to see my best friend so upset and almost screaming at her boyfriend, who was another friend of mine, was no easy feat.
I once had this tricycle, years ago. It was among one of my most prized possessions. I spent long hours each day riding it all over the place. I enjoyed the experience thoroughly, feeling the air rip on by as I cruised around on all three wheels, with my surroundings being swallowed up by the horizon.I felt unstoppable and as if anything that got into my way was finished.
I've learned that it takes years to build up trust, and only suspicion, not proof to destroy it. I had known them for my entire life, and considered this an outrage.
