Challenge Accepted

Boo

I chewed my steak for less than five seconds and swallowed.  I was eating like someone was chasing me. Never in my privileged life had I been so hungry and tired at the same time. And it was still the first challenge. It’s not like I was complaining, I mean, I work out in my gym, but not under the burning sun dehydrating me. Lucille smiled at me as she poured some cold apple juice in my glass. Even though exhaustion made me want to lie on the ground and sleep, I couldn't help but admit this was the most fun I've had in a really long time. There was a fleeting moment while running around from apple tree to apple tree that I remembered chasing Daisy in a vineyard once when we were in France. It was owned by one of my friends from college.
