Weekly Contest #374
(Mention of passing of a family member.) It was a sad affair. Evelyn, the matriarch of the family, had passed.

My friends didn't believe me either, thought I was pulling a prank on them. To be fair, I wouldn't believe me either if I heard the story. So here it is. May 29th, it was a Thursday. My friends and I had all planned this camping trip. I have Fridays off so I went to the spot the night before to set up. Everything went smoothly, got all the gear set up...
