climbtree why do you lie all the time....
about 10 years ago now i went pig hunting with my friend sam and his dad and his dad's friend. i was pretty amped cause we got to carry the guns for them up to the hutt (we were hunting at rangitiwhiri hutt down south). so anyway we get up to the top of the hill and we put everything down but there was a family staying inside the hutt already, so they got first dibs i guess. we had brought a tent but it was still in the ute, so sam's dad and his friend headed back down to grab it. it was like a 30 minute hike one way , so sam and i jujst played around in the nearby trees. we played tag for a bit and then sam thought it'd be cool to play with the guns. even though they weren't loaded, we weren't meant to play with them because A: they were expensive, and B: because we shouldn't view them as toys. so anyway we're playing with them and i point mine at sam and pulled the trigger. next thing i knew i was on the ground and i couldn't move my hand, meanwhile there was screaming. it was the family that was staying in the hutt.
i pushed myself up with my good hand and then i saw the river of blood leading towards sam. my heart about stopped, i walked over to him and there was a fist sized hole in his shoulder. he was coughing up blood and tears were running down his face, i felt like a statue i had no idea what to do. we said some stuff i don't even remember back and forth but then he got quieter and quieter, so i leant in real close and this he said, and this i do remember
"Josh.... Josh..... Promise me..... promise me you'll lie all the time...."
and i did.
