It was sweltering hot and everyone was running around and being absolutely ridiculously athletic (while there I was with my eyes closed trying to catch the darned frisbee)
Then we moved on to soccer, and then captain's ball.
As I stood on the chair as the captain, there was this brief moment where the shouts and heavy breathing and sounds of fervent running stilled, and there was this potent silence-the kind you get when you lie under the blankets at night, when the air is heavy and full of promise but sound is just absent.
Then someone caught the ball and everything resumed.
