Slow and Rainy Day


Where is everyone at? There is usually a lot of people here at the park but today there is just two little boys playing basketball at the basketball court. Not even the soccer team is here today. I guess practice was cancelled because of the rain today. It isn’t raining right now but it just got done raining a little while ago. Nobody is here at all but these two boys playing basketball. They seem to be playing on a wet court but that’s not stopping them. It is a bit chilly today with this wind. The two boys seem to be playing an intense game of basketball right now. They are playing the full court. Both of them hustling for every loose ball and both are somewhat scoring at will. It seems to be really close at the moment. They aren’t doing much talking unless they score then they will say something short. A girl is running her dog around the park now. The girl is cute and the dog is really big. I believe it is a Great Dane. Anyways back to the basketball game. The boy in the black shirt must have won the last game because he started talking trash to his friend like competitive friends do. But now they are playing again. The guy in the red shirt is really trying to beat the guy in the black now but it is remaining close as it seems. The girl running her dog is getting tired because she started walking. It seems like the dog is literally pulling the girl when it starts running. I am just waiting for her to fall. It is getting colder outside so I got in my truck to observe. The boys playing basketball are still going at it. It seems to be close again but I am not too sure. The boy in the red just made a shot while the guy in the black was in his face guarding. The guy in the black drove in on the guy in the red and missed his pull back shot. The guy in the red got the ball and made his next shot. Suddenly he guy in the red starts talking trash back to the guy in the black. I am guessing he just made the winning shot. I turn my attention to the girl attempting to run with her huge dog. Well the dog is running and she is sprinting holding on to the leash at the moment. I don’t think she can keep that up for much longer. I think she is going to fall. It is starting to rain now and it is beginning to get dark. The two boys are both leaving the park. The girl is still running with her dog but I think she is running toward her house. It is beginning to rain hard quickly. The girl is definitely running toward her house. Such a slow day at the park.
