KATE
Based On True Events
Kate walks out of the doctor’s office after
receiving news she didn’t want to hear. She decides to take her mind of things
for a while. She heads over to the local park to get in her daily dose of
exercise.
After she completes her workout, she notices a
ball game going on, at an adjoining ball field. She decides to walk over and
watch the game for a while. She focuses
her attention on one young lady, who is a top-line pitcher for the Rampage
Softball Club, in the Olympic sport of Girls-Fastpitch softball.
Being an athlete herself, Kate is quite taken
by this young lady. She has heard about this girl, and the many
challenging obstacles she has overcome in her young life. At the
conclusion of the game, she watches as the young lady walks to toward the
stands and engages in conversation with a young friend in a wheel chair.
Kate immediately realizes that the young lady
far exceeds the usual qualities of your normal high school athlete. This girl
is mature well-beyond her years. She decides to introduce herself to the
young lady.
As they are talking Amy glances at a spare
mitt laying on the ground. She walks over, picks the mitt up and hands it to
Kate. Amy backs up and under hands the ball to Kate.
Kate gives a quick warm glance at Amy, smiles,
and rifles the ball back to Amy. They both smile, as each seem impressed
with each other’s athletic prowess. Several minutes later they put the mitts
down and walk toward a dugout bench,
As they are walking, Kate suddenly experiences
a dizzy spell. She looks at the bench that is now going around in circles. She
makes a feeble attempt to reach for the seat but misses. Amy gently reaches for
Kate’s arm and helps her as she attempts to sit down.
Amy reaches over and opens a bottles water.
She pours water on one end of the towel and hands it to Kate who now begins to
come around a bit. She sits down next to her new friend as a faint smile begins
to appear on Kate’s face.
After talking for several minutes, they both
learn they have a great deal in common. Their relationship quickly begins
to flourish and they realize that a series of events in their
past, is the reason why they are drawn to each other now.
