86 MARCH 2020FICTION
Go, Team
By Samantha Hunt
“Th ere was a woman, and
everyone watched. Including me.
We were at the fi elds where the
kids play soccer. You know?”
“I’m there three times a week.”
“Th e place is surrounded
by woods.”
“I know. Th ree days a week.
No joke. Were the kids playing?”
“Th at’s why we noticed her.
She walked across the fi eld
mid-game like she didn’t even
see the rest of us and dis-
appeared into the woods. Th e
fi refl ies had started. Maybe 40
minutes before dark? Th e game
must’ve been close to ending.
In fact, it did end soon after.”
