Anticipation
Anticipation is gray.
It tastes like a lifetime of sorrow
and it smells of raw sweat and tears.
It feels like your stomach turns upside down
and it sounds like pure silence.
It looks like the games begin shortly.
Anticipation is pure torture living at the bottom of a hole.

My brother (Hayes) always makes me smile. He is 4 years old but thinks he is 12. He likes to play football and wrestle with me. He never seems to annoy me even when he was 1 or 2, so it seemed like he is like one of my friends. All of my friends like him too, like Lozano and Chase–they think he is the coolest guy, and he is. He has brown eyes and dirty blond hair. Everyday he checks to see if he grew on the side of the door. He is rough and tough when it comes to sports, but he can also be the nicest guy you know.
He recently started flag football, and he loves it. After every game he counts down the days until the next one. Also their team went undefeated this year. After every game he shares play by play (unless it was a bad play).
My brother Hayes is honestly one of the coolest kids–no– coolest people— I know.

Last week was the first home game of this year, we were going up against Temple Wildcats which will be a tough game sense last year we lost to them. The game didn’t start out good, Westlake loses the toss and the Wildcats pick to receive. Westlake makes a good run back to the 40 before getting tackled.
This is when it gets bad, the first play is a short gain but the second is a pitch to the left when suddenly a Wildcat comes for the tackle when the ball falls out of Westlake’s possession and into the Wildcats hands. After a few first downs the Temple Wildcats score. This continues all the way until the second half. The Wildcats continue to put points up on the board and shutting down Westlake up until the final quarter. The final quarter begins the score not looking good but the hope within keeps us from giving up. Westlake scores with 6:38 seconds remaining still down by 2 touchdowns the onside kick fails but Westlake holds the Wildcats to a 3 and out with 3:45 remaining Westlake scores on 10 yard out and a few missed tackles.
The Chaparrals need an onside kick or the game is over the kick is up and … Westlake recovers but we still need touchdown with 1:26 remaining. The first play is a10 yard gain and a slow run the second play, 23 seconds remain on the 7 yard line. The last play the quarterback drops back and tough down on a 5 yard in. The game is over and Westlake makes a great comeback to win the game.

The worst possible thing anybody can ever imagine. The worst experience any man can ever have. The bullets shot, the shriek of incident people fighting for their country being killed, the air filled with death, blood on the battlefield, and worst of all watching your own man get killed without anything you can do but sit there and try to help. It is a very horrible thing for anybody to have to do, but it must be done. Is there any other way to settle it?
