## Resource

Tonight's episode comes from a longtime listener who finally sat down at his kitchen table at two in the morning and put forty-four years of silence into words. He asked us to call him Jacob. In the summer of 1982, when he was twelve years old, he and three of his closest friends hiked into a stretch of north Georgia national forest with packs on their backs and a single .22 rifle between them. It was their first campout without adults. They were supposed to stay a week. They came home after three days, and they have never once sat down together and talked about why. What happened to those four boys over those three nights is the kind of thing that rearranges a person from the inside out. Wood knocks on the ridge. A voice in the trees that knew one of their names. A figure stepping out from behind a poplar twenty yards from the fire. And in the deepest hours of the third night, something heavy and patient running its hand across the top of their tent while all four of them sat inside in the dark, holding their breath. Jacob's letter is long, and it's careful, and it's one of the more honest accounts we've ever been sent. We're reading it tonight in his words, the way he wrote it, the way he's carried it. If this episode means something to you, share it with somebody who needs to hear it.
