A kid is sitting on the bleachers. This must be a dream because we're in Memorial Stadium in Johnson City, home of the Hilltoppers — it got demolished years ago. But even more than that, the kid is me, only he's… I'm 10. He's sitting at the bottom of the bleachers in the shade of the big press box in the late evening as daylight is slipping away.They bolted metal sheets along the bottom when they built the steel risers on top of the old concrete stadium. The kid is sitting where I always sat, on the walkway, legs dangling over the ledge so he can hammer his heels into the sheet on 3rd downs. He's making a rumbling sound with each kick: boom, boom.
