Description
Photograph of a catcher’s mit in a baseball bag lying on the dugout floor taken before practice.
Lights come to life, humming as they slowly begin to charge the cold night’s sky. Bright light flooding into the otherwise eerily quiet park.
The catcher, moves slowly as he makes his way to the field.
The park is still, as if frozen in time, fitting for such cold cold night. There are no people here besides the catcher, the second baseman and the head coach. It is still early, but I find myself wondering if anyone will show up.
The catcher kicks the dirt as he looks around. His face revealing nothing.
I watch his breath pause for a moment before it fades away into the lights.
To my surprise, the team and coaches begin to trickle in, followed by moms and siblings toting blankets and heaters.
The catcher scans the bleachers again.
She’s not here.
