Body

Epilogue

"Hey Joe, come on down here where the river gets real deep, there'll be lot's of fish."

"All right Bill."

Bill started to wade into the water, and cast his rod when a white flash caught his eye. It lay at the bottom of the river. He waded in further to where the water reached his waist and looked closer.

"Joe, come take a look at this," Bill called.

Joe scrambled to where Bill was standing and looked, "Holy shit, it looks...." He dove into the icy water and pulled at the white material. It came loose and floated to the surface. Bill jumped back in shock then laughed. They both saw what it was a laughed at each other.

Bill chuckled, "I thought it was a body!"

Joe laughed again, "Yeah, that'd make the newspaper headlines, "Body discovered in River by two old fat fishermen" like that would happen, especially up here in the middle of nowhere. That's a good one."

They both cast their rods into the river hoping to get a few bites before sunset. The sun shone down on the T-shirt floating down the river, with words that red "Rage Against the Machine." It passed a silver gun, lying wedged among the rocks further downstream. Once again peace fell onto the forest surrounding Horizon. It created the safe sanctuary for the troubled teens that lived there.
