I am living
a less than fulfilling life and try to find happiness through attending sporting events at the local stadium. While watching a tennis match I throw up a
red flag and yell “penalty’’, then blackness, now
a loud roaring crowd surrounds me with my empty hand still raised in the air. We are all watching
children’s soccer in a massive
stadium.
At one of these matches (there were so many) I meet a young girl who later introduces me to her older sister who is on drugs at the time. The three of us sit together in the stands and the older sister starts to sing seductively and I rest my head in her lap. A sense of fulfillment washes over me and I realize that she has stopped singing.
I open my eyes to find her passed out from a drug overdose and paramedics move in to take her away. The younger girl is upset because of what has happened and angry at me. I try to help by gathering the girl’s things, but the little girl grabs them and looks up to me betrayed and runs off, I am left holding the little girl’s silver winter jacket.
