I supposed that survival at such a high altitude was near impossible. The air was thin and parched and made my lungs feel like they were being squeezed from the

I grew up in a household consumed by sports. At a young age my father drilled things like ESPN‚ football‚ and elbow pads into me and my brother’s heads. Both of my brothers were naturally gifted in athletics. I on the other hand‚ was not. I couldn’t catch a football‚ run a lap‚ or shoot a basket to save my life.

rows away from me but still‚ we seemed to find a way to stare into each others’ souls while our instructor babbled on about chemical bonding. I did not know much about Chemistry but oh damn did we have some sort of inseparable bond. Others seemed reluctant to the idea of her being mine; not because she was a girl with mutual feelings of affection towards me‚ but because it was something much more than that. Something that to others was a instant deal-breaker.

I plopped down on the wooden doorstep of my father’s trailer‚ shielded from the floating‚ flaming ball of assorted rock and metal in the sky‚ by a canopy of corrugated tin. The sky was a vibrant‚ yet non-aggressive‚ shade of azure‚ interwoven with swirls of pale cotton. The sun shone on the majestic‚ yet barren
