DECISION
Will found his iPhone where Ajay had stashed it, under the mattress. It felt good to feel its familiar contours in his hands again, but also sobering and sad, this artifact from his former life. Will sat on the edge of his bed. He looked at his parents’ photograph in its cracked frame. He picked up from the table Dad’s tattered book of rules and opened to the first page:
The Importance of an Orderly Mind.
Sticking with the rules had kept him alive this far. Had he been a little lucky? No doubt. And he knew enough to know he couldn’t count on that from here on out.
