Once more to the well

The email was from Nicole at my old company. The subject line: "Dodgeball, Game 1, tonight at 7pm."

"Todd, We need you! We are down a ton of players and can't field a team!! We are playing at 67th and York. Can you come?!"

I thought dodgeball season was over. I already crossed it off my bucket list and threw away my team jersey. I haven't even worked for that company for two months. The gig only lasted seven weeks to begin with.

Only five of us showed up. We played one person short. We got killed. I'm going back into retirement.
