As the Sparks Fly Upward May 26

Boy Hamilton was once more the victim of cosmic cruelty.

There was some conspiracy in the Divine Counsel. He was sure of it. Jesus, God and The Holy Ghost had guided the wiffle ball to the sprawling, wild branches of an oak. Said oak was currently suffering the fiercest blows Boy's ten year old muscles could muster. The bat bore the marks of Newton's Third Law in the form of an amorphous, brown dent at its repeated point of impact.

Boy cast his weapon aside. He began his ascent, his sneakers clumsily begging the wet trunk for some sort of grip. The intermittent slips were accompanied by fierce scrapes of bark on belly. Finally, in an ache of defeat, the child plummeted the short distance to the ground beneath.
