810 Words4 Pages

An old man sat by a campfire up in the Sierra Nevadas. The flames flickered in the frosty air as countless stars appeared in the night sky. The ancient pine smell wafted through the air casting a rich aroma. His only companion was his border collie who snuggled by his feet by the warmth of the fire.

Yes, free time. They were all walking to a little sandwich shop in LA downtown where they all loved to eat. Micah was a hard worker, responsible, and enjoyed community service. On the other hand, Zeke appreciated sports, good food, and friends. Jonah was kind of in between. Aside from some differences, the three were really close friends and deeply understood one another. They all were Christians and loved each other like a brother. After lunch, they walked around downtown stopping by some shops and bookstores, relishing their summer break. Later in the day, they were sitting outside a bookstore, when aromas of different foods began to fill the air.
