He got an envelope with his sign up
sheet and money returned to him. “Lack of interest in the summer
league”
It explained.
His heart dropped, and quickly felt
foolish. The anxiety over deciding to join, the imaginary future
conversations, even the jogging to get in shape; they all seemed very
stupid.
He was glad he hadn't mention it to
his family yet. Or maybe he had learned to expect something like
this.
So to them, he'll have another lost
summer, spent like very other one in the past.
But they won't know it wasn't from
lack of trying.
That hit close to home.
ReplyDeleteI think he should have mentioned it, but I've had people think I'm lazy when there was serious problems involved I didn't want them to know about.
ReplyDeleteIf eharmony rejects you, you have match.com,chemistry.com and all such. Doesn't summer league have marathon, pink ribbon 15k and all that?
