The Call of Friends: A Bio

By Jay Hennigan

Most of the time, there were many other kids around, but I didnt participate. Id only sit and commiserate with a female visitor or two. I wasnt even aware of it being nighttime when Id wake up and go home for breakfast. But thats the kid.
I became aware of Pats death again at retirement time. A time of great boredom. And thats when it hit me right in the face and all the memories came flooding back, so fast that I couldnt write them down quickly enough. And so . . . the story.

Jay Hennigan

I’m a retired machinist, and I started writing this in 1999. There was not much time for organized grieving in those days, so this fourteen-year-old boy spent two or three weeks in solitude at the old swimming hole with nothing but my bathing trunks, a sandwich that I’d make while getting my father’s lunch at home and then back to the creek for more contemplation of why!
