Two elderly men in a nursing home exchange life stories. They
slowly come to the realization that they
are by no means strangers. Their paths have crossed before.
There is this one moment in my life I will never forget, Wilbur
said, looing thoughtfully intothe distance, I was driving home from
wor. I was exhausted. I was trying so hard not to fall asleep
at
the wheel. I new I had to get home to my family. Then, as I
prepared to turn left off the highway to get
onto the bridge, I saw what I thought to be a boy. !bout "#
years old or so. I blined and looed again.I thought I was
hallucinating. It was insane. $What is a "# year old boy doing
waling across the bridge
at this time of day% &houldn$t he be in school%$ I thought
to myself at that time.
