Death of a Friendship
It was like any other day, the heat of the sun was scorching. Paul was sawing the wood with fierce determination while he kept muttering to himself. Milton one of his customers and longtime friends pulled into the driveway. As Milton walked towards Paul he didn’t pay attention to Paul’s tense figure as he neared him.
