New Hampshire In a small town down south of New Hampshire‚ there was a crystal shop. Crystals of every color lay in the palm of the miracle maker’s hand as Danny and I reach out to grab the one in the shape of a dolphin. The crystal shop was a weekly routine that Danny‚ my dad‚ and I pursued‚ like going to religious school or going to a soccer game. Our collection of crystal animals grew and grew each week. The first eight years of my life was me‚ my dad‚ and Danny. I never real got to see my

I stood in the forest‚ blood pooling around my soaked boats. The battle was over and we’d won the battle‚ but struggle was so far from ending. I turned my body several times the reality of the situation hitting me. Comrades that stood firm with me against the enemy now lay empty against the crimson red.

Surrounded by a massive ray of brightness‚ complete silence‚ I was just as shocked as my mother and father standing on the lush and thick grass. All I could see was my teammate‚ Zayna with her short‚ black‚ thick hair and the other team’s goalie. I was standing on the field right in front of the goal.

The misty September air froze against my skin; at least‚ it felt like it did. As we walked along the river‚ I debated the effectiveness of a faking an injury. Perhaps‚ then we would finally take a break. Although‚ It is far more likely we would continue to shuffle on‚ herded by orange traffic cones and dreary-eyed volunteers. Even now‚ years later‚ I still marvel at the fact the race starts at 8:00 AM. Whoever supplied the idea must not have recognized the pain it would cause my nine year-old self

Baseball is a sport which involves two teams made up of‚ more or less‚ nine players. A baseball game is played on what we call a baseball field.
