Mr Adams

In 9th grade Mr. Adams told our class (with buck shot in his eyes) "That one day life will scare the $hit out of you". Well, we all giggled like little barn owls - Didn't really know or care what he was talking about. What was so scarry about living in a half square mile of bliss - Smoking cheap dope-sharing a root beer floats with a trashy little girlfriend. But nothing lasts forever, and neither would this. On the last day of my senior year, I opened the blast furnace doors of responsibility. There was a big smirking fireball of instantaneous fear. Barreling toward the last breath of my whiffle ball youth. Mr., Adams was right Afterall.
