I was 4th up to bat, playoff game. I am getting to old for this sport.
I hit the ball hard. It is sailing to right field with the speed of a rocket ship. Ha! I laugh as I take off running. This is good, as I round first heading to second. The fielder bobbles and I see third base easily in my sights.
The right fielder must have a rocket arm because I see the base coach waving me to slide! I go down hard. Snap! Ankle turns sideways. Pain shoots up my leg into my brain! Instant swelling!
The 100 Word Challenge is a writing prompt hosted by Velvet Verbosity. The idea is to take a single theme, either through prose or verse, and tell a story in only 100 words.. no more, no less. The theme this week is ‘Swollen.’ The Challenge has moved to a temporary home, and Lou is graciously acting as the host.
