Memory told of a mid-afternoon encounter along the Flatrock River

Two friends were playing at a secluded campground by a river on a clear spring afternoon, shooting at a can floating downstream.

They stared at each other for several minutes, then the witness fired his rifle into the air and both fled by car.
