We have many ways of keeping in contact with people these days, but for today, think of a childhood friend that you haven't kept in contact with since childhood. Maybe one of you moved away, or you just ended up at different schools or took different paths in life.Imagine what kind of life they've had since then, and write about what you imagine they would be doing now, based on what you remember of them then.
