The Target

Over a year

As the year passed I wonderd about Tom, and really wondered who his parents were, if he survived. I wished could see him again. As the year passed I matured more but the effects of that fateful day kept passing threw my mind.
I reasearched his name and found his parents at one time lived only a block from here before they died from a "fudged robbery", but he still had family here. I turned 17 three weeks before I found the news clipping.
I constantly checked the news papers for his name and for other things leading to him so I could see him again but nothing appeard for a long time.
One day while reading the paper as usual I found him....In the obituaries.
