"Trust me."

Perfect autumn day

The red leaves

And orange specks

Adam was only ten

Placing the apple carefully

On the top of his head

He stood underneath a tree

"Dont be scared,trust me."

His friend said

And picked up the bow and arrow

Adam squeezed his eyes

And then opened it again

He saw the arrow being pulled

And suddenly all he could see

Were the images of his sister

And the days he spent with his friend

Playing ball

Climbing the fences

The way his mother kissed him on the forehead

Her lavender smell wafting through the house

The report card he got just yesterday

How proud his father would be

Looking down from above

"1..."

How he never got to kiss Sadie

And dry her tears

"2..."

How in about 3 days his baby brother

Jordan would be born

"3."

And how in that last second

He saw himself next to his father

And gave one last smile

As the world was shut off

From the soulless eyes

The arrow struck

Straight in the middle of his forehead
