The two discover adventures they never bargained for as they foolishly hop a slow freight train to take them up the river road, then accidentally start a grass fire. Soon they find themselves being chased through a mammoth cave by two desperate men willing to do almost anything to keep the teens from telling what they’ve discovered. Geri and Jay’s adventures bring them one step closer to maturity and accepting responsibility.

𝐀𝐒 𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 𝐆𝐎𝐄𝐒 𝐁𝐘 Nearing the end, Old asks himself, "Does my life ultimately have any importance in any universal scheme? Am I just taking up space? Have I wasted the time given me? What effect have I had on others? Have I unknowingly, or worse, knowingly, hurt others in some fashion? What's my worth? These are playful existential questions with no pertinent answers for me.

So I'm putting down my cane and picking up my pen. I will sift through the sands of my time to see what I can discover through remembrance. Don't expect any fancy writing. No playing with altered punctuation, or trying to be aesthetically clever, poetic, or intellectual. Not here a Sedaris, or Saunders, or Atwood, or Yuknavich. Just me, squinting into some memorable windows in my life before they all fog.
