I saw...

Our eyes locked for a moment. I could see his eyes, smoldering with passion and intensity. I could see anger and frustration as well as the fire that drove him to be who he was. And then he turned around and started walking away. I looked down, took a deep breath and waited. I knew he would be back, he had to. His life was at stake and so was mine. I watched as he walked away, carefully counting his steps as he always did. There was me and there was him. The millions around did not matter. I could see him and that’s all I saw. And I could see what he was doing, and I could picture what he would do in a while. I waited, ready for him when he came back. And then he turned, pausing for a moment, assessing me one last time before he ran towards me. The tension was building up. I watched him, unblinking, my sight fixed on one thing. A fraction of time passed. He hurled the ball at me, I met it with the middle of my bat, and the umpire raised both his hands high up in the air. I had hit a six yet again.
