A pet store aquarium. A grocery store lobster tank. A beach in Mexico. A lily-pad frog. Beach balls in a hurricane. Popcorn in the wind, and breeze over a field of wheat.
“A smile spread across Reginald’s face like a breeze over a wheat field. The surprise Little League coach turned towards the Sleepmobile so he could show her something about himself she’d never seen. She was so shocked that her emergency brake slipped, and she began to drift backwards in the parking lot.” The Sleepmobile is such a fine lady. And Reginald’s affection equally charming.
The last line....perfect!
Thank you! ⚾️
Oh man, that last line! The delivery!
And the way the baseballs change—the baby you were afraid to hold and then tossing, the fish, the lobsters.
Every line of this story is so alive.
Also, I adore Reginald’s relationship with the Sleep Mobile.
She is the 👼❤️.
