Basketball Phobia

Yi-tong Feng

I can play basketball well, but I will never play the basketball again. A basketball, usually brown or white in color, is round in shape, weighing about 600 grams, and is usually made of rubber and cowhide. One summer I moved into the city and had no friends. I saw a lot of boys and girls playing basketball in the playground and I asked them if I could join them. From that day on, we shared the same interest every afternoon after school, which had really made me happy for a long time. But an accident broke that happiness. A little baby who was taught to walk around the playground was hit by my spontaneous pass, which turned out to be bad and I could see the painful expression from that little kid crying loudly. I was desperately in need of a sense of safety at that time but I was blamed by all the people around. I can’t undo the past, which is why I am fearful of basketball, and will never play it again.
