028. Time Capsule

George Hernandez had two best friends. They had been friends since elementary school. Now, they were all grown up. George was moving away to a university. Steven was starting a family in another city. Charles got a job in another state. They had to say goodbye.

George didn’t want them to ever forget each other. “Let’s make a time capsule,” he said. They all went home. They looked for things that held memories of their being together.

They found old toys, pictures, and CDs. They put them in a box. Then they buried the box in a park. The boys promised to get together in ten years. They would dig up the box and feel like children again.
