The park felt wrong, too bright, too sunny. James wandered aimlessly along the path, kicking at pebbles, the small stones scattering like his shattered dreams. He ran his hand over the worn leather of his baseball glove, a tangible link to his ambition, now seemingly out of reach. His performance in the tryouts had been subpar, a brutal reckoning. He dug his heels into the dirt, feeling a need to be grounded, to find something to anchor him. He found himself unable to stay still.
