I don't think you could have asked for anything more. |
I don't want to be back in those dark times again. So experiencing that makes this all the sweeter. |
I enjoy hitting the ball and trying to bowl fast, and that is what I do. |
I felt something hit me and, looking down, saw pellets on the ground, |
