MSB.. your post caught me offguard. I said nothing because I had no idea what to say. "Seeya" didn't seem adequate. I don't know if you'll log into to read, but if you do here's the last bit of a short story... He'd turned that day before getting into his car. "You're a writer. Write a song for me someday, okay? Make me immortal." He winked, got in and drove away. Today was his twentieth birthday. I stared at the water and sang tunelessly under my breath, "Johnny Reb is dead. Put a bullet in his head." Someday, maybe, I'd write a song that did right by the golden child that swung above the river hanging from a faded, frayed rope. Swung back and forth until he arced as high as possible. Then letting go, fell through the air, and with a wild yell hit the water, flinging sprays of sunlit drops as his blond, grinning face disappeared.
