5.6.11 twilight - a drabble of 100 words

It’s the moment when you realize that the sun has set and the lights have come on. It’s the crack of the bat, the arc of the ball, the way you rise to your feet without even realizing it, waiting to see where the ball lands. It’s the way you sink back into your seat when the opposing center fielder leaps and catches the ball, robbing your batter of his hit. It’s the way your arms automatically fly up in the air and the shout of jubilation rips from your throat when the ball lands in the stands.

It’s baseball.
