Knowing

The kid just knew stuff; it was just that simple.

He stood watching the boy. He was fishing; dangling his cheap rod and line, waiting for a catch. He was twelve and the other was twelve. They went to different schools but knew each other by sight. He knew they would be best friends, and spend time with each other after school hours. They would take turns in each other’s houses and become inseparable. In their teenage years they would do everything together. They would fall in with a bad crowd and make easy money selling drugs. This would end when they were in their early twenties and in the night club. They would be selling their wares when it got raided by police. They were both found to be in possession of, and selling, drugs. They would both be arrested and charged. It would end with a great deal of disgrace for both sets of parents. His friend’s folks would eventually sell their house and move away, while his own family stopped talking to him.

It was all fated and he knew it.

He didn’t know how.

He just did.

He stood a little way off along the bank, staring out across the narrow river. Their eyes met and he strolled across and sat down next to him.

After a bit of idle chat, he said, “You know, I have the feeling that we are destined to be the best of friends.”

I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She placed the shell to her ear and screamed.
