You Never Know

             I awoke. There was a crash on the main deck. I heard a loud crack from above. I ran up the stairs and what I saw shocked me. The small wooden boat was completely in flames!
             I slowly moved toward the sound being careful not to get caught in the flames. The smoke was choking me. I could see an outline of a face across from me. It was Jaden, my best friend. He was completely surrounded by the bright orange flames.

The foot prints were going toward the trees ahead of me that lined the boundary of the seashore. I followed them to see him lying against a big old fat tree that looked as if it had been there for at least a thousand years. I went around to confront him and ask him why he left me where I was.
