My first game is just around the corner. I am at baseball practice in the batting cages with my brother, Nick. We are both wearing our baseball helmets.. “Pitching to you is my favorite,” Nick sarcastically said to me. “Well if it wasn’t for you being stupid and standing on the short side, maybe you could of got out of the way,” I replied. “Well said,” he replied.

The baseball bounced off his head like a tennis ball off the ground., making no sound at all. He collapsed like a dead man. I sprinted over to him while he was still on the ground. I had a metal like taste of fear in my mouth.. Nick struggled to say.“What...happened,” I couldn’t believe what I just did. In fear I gave him a simple concussion
