My Daily Journey BY EZRA MIMS ‘25 I am ecstatic! I know where I am heading, I know who is going to be there. I am ready for war; I am prepared to meet friends and enemies. As I get closer, I started to skip and gallop. Why won’t she go any faster? I see the gate open, yippee! I run and dance in circles with my mouth hanging open. A greeting of familiar faces, and off I go! I made someone mad, they chased me, and then I chased them back. I hurdle across the big brown woodchips and make a tackle. Then, I see my enemy... WALLACE! I assert my power right away, make him mad, and then fight back. Soon after, even though I am tired, I still want to keep fighting. “BEAR!,” I hear in the distance. “TREAT!,” she says in the same voice. Man... That treat was tasty! Till’ we meet again Wallace! Satisfied, I skipped back home, not bothered at all by the leash on my neck.
