Playing Catch
She loved playing catch. She’d play with just about anyone.
One boy caught her throw and ran off with the ball. She had to chase him down and wrestle it back.
Another boy caught her throw and chucked the ball over the fence. She had to jump the fence to get it back.
A third boy caught her throw and whipped the ball right back at her face. It hurt.
The last boy did not even flinch when she threw him the ball. He stood completely motionless, staring blankly in her general direction.
