James was never seen again after setting off down the rutted, puddled road.

James said to his wife, “I’m leaving you and the kids and never coming back.”

James said to his boss, “I quit this stupid-**s job and I’m never coming back.”

James said to his girlfriend, “It’s over, sweetheart, and I’m never coming back.”

James said to his in-laws, “I’m tired of your verbal abuse, I’m never coming back.”

James said to his parents, “I’m sick of Sunday supper, and I’m never coming back.

James said to his dog, “I’m taking a hike, and I’m not looking back.”

It was the first time James ever did anything he said he would. (word count: 100)
