I lean my arm back and bring it up in one quick motion, leaning my body forward. I release the heavy ball, which moves the slowest and everyone, including me, is anxious for it to meet the pins. Go!

Slap slap slap! While the man was sent flying, Harvey York rushed right into the crowd of men. The men immediately trembled before instinctively taking a few steps back… But Harvey was faster. His palm immediately made contact with every single one of their faces. His movements were as quick as lightning. While Kairi Patel and the elderly man were completely stunned by the sight, Harvey fiercely swung his palm around without hesitation. Men in black shirts were flying all over the place before the last one collapsed.

She raised a stiff hand, almost soldier-like, and brought it down, signaling the beginning of the game. Instantly, the throwers on each team charged to the dividing line where the rubber, red dodge balls lay motionless for the moment.

“The trick is not to score points. What it is really about is to make the next shot for your opponent as difficult as possible. Let him make the points for you” I bite my lip and enjoy his tempting voice close to my ear. He bends me over the table like the last time. Weaving our fingers together and taking aim. “Keep your eyes on the red ball”. He whispers. His breath sends chills down my neck. The light thrust to the red ball makes the white one roll to the side of the table, where it rolls in to knock over a single cone.

We walk down the hall until we get to the room, which is filled with people. “Even my grandma plays better than you!” a man yells from the crowd, drawing my attention to two men at the table and the guy at the receiving end who has his hands shaking on the stick.
