The Footbridge. A lie they believed cost them everything - Arden J. Pennell

Twenty-five years ago, four teenage boys stood on a narrow wooden bridge and made a choice they could never take back.

Or so they believed.

When a drifter is found dead in the creek below, the town of Oakmont moves on. The boys don't. Kevin, Cody, Tom, and Sam carry the memory in silence - each one certain they played a part in a man's death.

Now Kevin is coming home for Sam's funeral.

The town looks the same. The bridge is still standing.

But the past isn't finished with them.

As old memories surface and long-buried questions begin to take shape, the truth about that night slowly comes into view - and what they believed for twenty-five years may not be what happened at all.

Some burdens come from what we've done. Others come from what we only believe we've done.
