January Featured Story: Mike Rusetsky’s “The Waiting Friends” Despite us moving away weeks later, I knew that, somewhere in Colorado, beneath a foot of playground sand, I had a friend for life. One who would never grow bored with or disparage me. Or call me “new kid” like so many classmates had done. A friend who silently waited for me to return someday, to collect him from his leaf-marked grave. 

Mike Rusetsky's "The Waiting Friends" finds a military brat who finds a solution to losing friends every few months or years: Choose friends who will wait indefinitely for your return.
