Ray & Me
“I could see right through myself. It felt so real. I had a bat in my hands, waiting for a pitch.
There was just one other person up there on the cloud with me. It was Hammerin’ Cameron, and he was the pitcher. He went into a big, exaggerated, cartoony windup.
The pitch was coming right at me. I tried to back away, but I couldn’t move. I was frozen in place, like a statue. The ball crashed into my head.
Millions of tiny pieces of me exploded off in all directions, reflecting sunlight in slow mot...ion. I was hollow. There was nothing left of me.
When I opened my eyes, I realized it had been a nightmare. That never happened before. Hopefully, it would never happen again.
I looked around to see that I was surrounded by about a million people. But I wasn’t home, and I wasn’t at the Polo Grounds—or at any other ballpark. I was in the middle of a city street.
Why does this always happen to me? Why is it that I never end up where I want to be? Where I need to be? Just once, I wish it would be easy.MoreLess
