The Basketball Court

Competitive teams playing in a game whilst the fans are focussed in on the game like mountain lions watching their prey. A court booming with active energy is an explosion while the players are running back and fourth through the court. Balls swishing in the nets that sound similar to a slight sizzle of a snake slithering. The team's cheering is thunderous and the coaches are calling out plays rapidly. Victory smells extremely close like the feeling when you shoot a layup and you know it is going to go in. The medal feels exceptionally near to being around my neck, like my team has already won a million times. Thick sweat is forever dripping down my body all the way from my head to my toes. The ball dribbling is a pounding of a hammer back and fourth throughout my hands. Excitement as well as nervousness making my heart beat tremendously brisk like how you feel when you get a bad grade. The whistles being blown by the referees are as loud as a band drum making everyone stop in a millisecond. This is why The basketball court will be my everlasting home.
