Submitted to Contest #78

"Oh Peter, won't you just try?" annoyingly begs Allison. "It's just the greatest feeling to be able to create a piece of art out of your own mind." Peter ignores Alison, as if she isn't even speaking to him. But the kid goes on and on, like a broken record. Didn't she realize that Peter was a boy, and boy's like to do boy stuff. Like hunting, & baseball, now those were two of Peter's favorite things. Sliding into home-base after you've just hit a fly-ball, or catching a 10 lb. catfish and reeling him in as h...

Author bio

I just have to give a voice to all the voices in my head, the voice of a mother, the voice of a daughter, the voice of the bride of Christ. Because he's coming back sooner than later.
