A piece of fiction about a childless, skittish man who takes out a woman he knew from high school who now has kids...
"What happened to you in those woods? Why'd you walk into them alone with three guys making you carry the liquor bag? Well granted you were young and healthy fear had to be earned. And the guys were exciting. Well, walking into the woods with the guys at night was an exciting thing to do. An unknown thing. There was probably a ping of freedom in the fact that, as you were walking into the woods guy-flanked, one of the guys being way too popular for you to be walking into the woods with, you realized your mother had no idea where you were at that moment, that you were outside her grasp in every way. This was probably enlivening."

"Commencement"
