“Hey, Jesse?”
“Yeah Jake.”
“We’re ain’t going to make it, are we?”
A pause.
“Nope, probably not.”
A moment of silence.
“Jesse?”
Sigh. “Yeah Jake.”
“I found somethin’ on the ground. Do you think I can eat it?”
Sigh. “How should I know? Not like I can see it.”
“Well, it’s round and a little squishy. Feels like I could it eat.”
A pause. “How does telling me that help?”
“I’m gonna eat it. Hope it don’t kill me.”
“Not sure that matters now.”
A pause.
“Ah! Ug! That’s nasty! Maybe I shoulda left it alone.”
Sigh.
“Jesse? Jesse?”
Silence.
