Frisbee

We never saw Rod again, but the construction site at Magnolia Glen was completed by the middle of August that year. He did have to show up at Jacob’s trial however and give a sworn testimony that it was Jacob that had thrown the bottle at him.

  It was the bottles from our stash, the ones Rod had been placing by the sign at the construction site that Cory had filled with gasoline and thrown on top of the house, soaking the roof, helping to fuel the fire, before Steve had lit the firework.

  The Police found Amber Nelson’s body on July 13th, a Sunday, wrapped in a sheet with small characters of Sesame Street’s Grover on it. When Jason found out he stayed in our room for two days and cried.
