In the spring, I was in bed surfing the web.

2

Dad thrust my door ajar.

“Scrap that screen,” said Dad, “It is a splendid night. Come for a run.”

3

So we strapped on our boots and ran onto the starlit street.

At the end of the street we ran down a trail and into a park.

5

Soon the trail turned into a dark trench with twisting scrub and drenching ponds.

6

I splash, and I scram.

I scrap, and I strain.

7

“I am afraid that I do not like your spring night runs,” I screech at Dad, as I turn and sprint back to my bed.
