Lost Stan

I look at the picture I took. What I great picture I took. Comon, hold back the tears. See that guy standing there on the right? That is my friend, Stan. That was the last time I saw him. I miss him so much. We went on a wilderness trip and I took this picture. I had work the next day so I headed back. Those three people went on. The one in the middle, that’s Lewie. He is an interesting character. The one on the right, that’s Johnny. He isn’t the brightest crayon in the box. He is just a pretty face. It was cloudy one morning and they reached a dense part of the forest. The lost each other for a while. Lewie and Jonney found each other, but Stan was lost. They called his name, nothing. That is the story they told us anyway. I regret not being there. Incase he is dead, I regret not telling him that I like him. We started our search for him yesterday. I hope we find him. I don’t know what I would do without him.

Lewie: Yo, Pam!
He bounced me back.
Me: What?!
Lewie: You still looking at that picture?
