Branch Rickey

I ride my bike around my neighbourhood five times every Sunday night. I enjoy the routine of the same distance, at the same time, on the same day. It’s calming. Last night was different though. I wanted to push myself to the absolute limit. I wanted to ride until my legs burned, and then some. It’s the only time I’m ever alone with my thoughts, you know? Anyway, last night while I was biking around my neighborhood, something caught my eye as I rode by the trees that separate two roads. There was

Colors of orange and yellow floating around me. The wind is whipping me around and around breaks me out of my thought. I hike farther up on the bluff going higher and higher into the sand. Rays of red and pink sunshine enveloping me in a ray of heat. The cold weather is nipping at my cheeks turning them a pinkish color. The farther I hike
