Max rose early and slipped out the back door. He’d heard his father snoring loudly on the floor of the living room as he passed the doorway and knew he didn’t have to worry about him finding out what he was doing. He thought about his dad as he walked quickly in the darkness of the early morning. One day, he wished, dad will get better. He felt sad with the knowledge that his wish was likely to be unrealized but he continued on with his brother’s wishes. He found the bags exactly where Donny had said they’d be; each one heavy with smelly school uniforms, complete with underpants, socks and shoes. He lugged them home on his shoulder and put them under his brother’s old bed before returning to sleep until the sun rose.

After eating some cereal, Max dressed himself and prepared himself for the day ahead. Donny had requested that he redraw the map onto a clean sheet of paper while wearing a sock over each hand. He made an envelope from a separate piece of paper as his brother had also instructed him to do, folding and taping the corners neatly before writing the address for the local police station that Donny dictated to him in his thoughts. He placed the map inside the envelope with a small note that he wrote in block letters, detailing where the police would find the remains of his mother and brother and the names of the three thugs who had been responsible for their murders. He taped the flap of the envelope down and carefully put the letter inside a plastic lunch bag.

After packing the collected items of clothing into a single black rubbish bag, Max was ready. Donny softly whispered his thoughts to Max with the final instructions and then lay down on his old bed while Max read a stack of comics on the floor. The day passed slowly and as the night crept down the street Donny felt his energy surge. The moon climbed steadily in the sky until it filled the night with a cool blue hue. Fog spilled from the nearby creek that ran along the back row of neighboring houses, slowing covering the yard and weaving its smoky tendrils out to envelope the street. It was time.

It was a beautiful night and the boys walked slowly through the fog, side by side, down the street. They stopped at the mailbox on the corner near the store and Max carefully slipped the letter from the lunch bag and posted it through the slot. The boys passed through the deserted school grounds, Max’s lone footsteps echoing quietly around the courtyard as they headed to the field. They made their way silently to the grove of trees next to the river, through the gap in the fence, behind the school field. Donny stood inside his host as Max spun in circles, stopping momentarily to pick up more items from the garbage bag at his feet. As he spun, he threw the items of clothing randomly into the brush surrounding the shallow grave.
