Overtime

It’s overtime at the hockey arena
Pitted head to head in a pivotal game
My heart is racing
It’s 3 on 3
Suddenly I am struck by worry like a lightning bolt
My stomach sinks like the Titanic
Thoughts of two scenarios are swirling and spinning around in my head
It’s making me dizzy
The puck is dropped and the players dig in with their sticks
My heart dances when my team gets a breakaway and scores
I jump on my seat like a monkey
I feel like shouting from the rooftops of a 100 story building
Instead, I settle for the arena and scream endlessly with excitement until I lose my voice!
