Centralia Journals Chapter 1
The sun was shining brightly as Joshua walked out of the church building. It was another gorgeous day, something that wasn't to often in Centralia. He had just sat through another one of Pastor Gregory's terrific sermon in his series on evangelism. Joshua's thoughts were interrupted by a voice. "Hay Josh," it was Josh's friend Allan. "Hay man what's up?" Said Allan. Oh not much Josh replied. "All the guys are going to the lake after church today want to come?" "Sure whose taking us?" Asked Josh. "David, Chris's older brother" said Allan. "Ok I'll have to ask my parents but that should be fine" said Josh. "Ok man I've got to go talk to you latter" said Allan. "Latter" Josh said.
Latter that afternoon after asking his parents permission and calling Chris Josh was happily riding in the back of David's truck with four of his best friends. "So whose turn is it to lead music this Thursday?" Asked Josh's friend Nick. "I think its Josh's turn" said Allan. "Oh, that's right" said Josh. He has almost forgotten that it was his turn to lead music this week at the retirement home. Josh and the other four in the back of the truck had strung together a band and they played several places. David turned of the highway onto a old dirt road leading into the woods. As they drove through the woods on the windy road Josh thought to himself about how much he loved this area. How beautiful Washington state is he thought it's so gorgeous. After about five minutes the road widened a little and David pulled of and parked the car. Then came the mad dash for the water. "Last one in is a rotten egg" cried Chris as they all jumped into the water. Josh didn't see who was the last one in, he didn't really care. He was to focused on racing to the other side. He climbed out right behind Nick and David. He scrambled up the side and onto the big rock. by the time he got up David already had hold of the rope and was running. he jumped of the rock sailed a short ways, did flip then did a cannonball into the water. Nick took the rope and was about to swing when David said "stop". "Why?" Asked Nick. "Where's Allan?" Asked David. Josh looked around. Allan was nowhere to be seen.
