The Bridge

March 15, 2019April 7, 2019Leave a comment

It started as a joke. Something the high school boys would taunt each other with on Friday nights after football games, the buzz of cheap beer cheering them on. They'd pile into a couple of pickups and cruise down the muddy roads outside of town until they took so many turns they weren't even sure … Continue reading The Bridge
