Strike or not?


Strike or not?

I feel nervous and overwhelmed by the talking all around me.
I feel the heavy ball slipping slowly from my hands.
I hear other balls rolling towards the skittles and smashing into them.
I hear the yelling of victory from a strike.
I see the gutter guards slowly come up.
I see people carefully choose their balls.
I wonder if I will win and will I yell with victory?
I wonder if I would get a strike?
