Story: Overheard

It was getting dark in the park. Soccer games were coming to an end and strollers were finally being pushed home. Two boys, around 7 or 8 years old, were riding their bikes. The older boy was waiting at the top of the little hill under the big trees for the other boy to catch up.

As he pushed his bike ahead of him slowly, the younger boy called out, "Hey Harrison, close your eyes!" The older boy closed his eyes. Then the younger one called out, "Don't you have darkness in your eyes when you close them?"

The older boy said with a little laugh, "Um, I always see darkness when I close my eyes."

But the younger boy couldn't hide his excitement, as though he had just had a Eureka moment. "Harrison, there's darkness in there when you close them!"
