RUNNING AT NIGHT
Leslie Paul Peterson
Words: 185
[Anecdote]

I remember about my teen in the night as night blind.

We lived in the wilderness or plain on the southeast corner of the Montana where my father was minister. We visited the large family of the farm. The young children of us went outdoor during the night with a strong light in the midst of the farmland. We played touch and run. At the time I did not know that my vision were limited in the dark because I thought we all have the same.

I saw the shadow chase after me and I know she is coming to touch me. So I astray and ran from the shadow. I was surprised she ran faster than I. So I ran hardly zoom. She chased closer and closer to me. I hit the tractor so bad. I had bad injury and glasses broke. There is no doctor or hospital because we lived in the wilderness. My mother was the best doctor as the mother nature to cure my sores and new pair of glasses.

I understood the shadow was NOT her but it was MINE.
