SLIDESHOW

1. We're on a roof in Bloomfield after a very successful Memorial Day barbeque, listening to the radio or smoking and it's the kind of night that you might recognize from a movie. Andrew and Paul play football for a while on the street below, stopping after the game devolves into beer-spitting. Later, Andrew stretches out on the gravel ceiling, and Megan and I join him. It starts to rain and we're still out there, smoking. It's the kind of moment when you feel like you've fallen out of your own life and found yourself doing something you'd never imagine. But there you are, smoking a cigarette on this roof in the pouring rain. You will wake up covered in bruises from the rocks.
