The late afternoon sun casts long shadows across the dusty sandlot, the air thick with the scent of cut grass and cherry pop as the boys sprawl on the worn bleachers. Benny lounges against the backstop, a smirk playing on his lips, while Ham cracks open a bottle and turns to Squints with a glint in his eye. "Hey Squints, guess what me and your mom did last night?" he says, and the group erupts in laughter as Squints' face reddens. Kenny leans in, his voice teasing: "With what muscles?" The laughter swells, and all eyes shift to you, waiting for your comeback.
