The Underdogs
““Don’t you ever get tired?” his dad said.
“Yeah,” Will said. “But I’m like you. I don’t let anybody see.”
“I wish,” his dad said, and told him to head out, he’d clean up by himself; when Will came back, they could watch the Saturday night college football game. Will asked who was playing and Joe Tyler said, “Who cares? It’s a game, we’re guys, it’s on TV, it’s practically our duty to watch.”
Will wasn’t sure why he needed to be outside, move around, get some air. But he did. He took his ball wi...th him, more by force of habit than anything else. He noticed on the way to Shea how quiet the streets were, even early on a Saturday night. He didn’t even see many cars on the road. It was one of those quiet moments in Forbes when you wondered if everybody had left.
One more of his dreams for the end of the season? That there would be this huge crowd if they made it to the championship game, that the whole town would come out and cheer them on if they got their rematch against Castle Rock.MoreLess
