Prompt #3: “Wait…”
“Wait, isn’t he supposed to be dead? I mean, I know I haven’t seen him in awhile and I’d heard rumors. Heard a body was found by a highway bridge and they thought it was him. Hit by a car? Murdered and dumped? I don’t know. “
“He was always doing something crazy. Once he attempted a triple somersault off a a quarry cliff and landed on his back. The stinging redness lasted 2 days. Another time he went hiking by himself and was lost in the woods for 3 days.
“The last time I saw him he said he’d die if I ever left him.”
