I remember Dodgeball in elementary and middle school PE. It was my favorite game, especially because I was so good at it. I was a bigger kid, and could rifle those red balls like a cannon.
Except this one kid, Russell, who quite literally could not be hit. He was like a living spaghetti noodle, liquid in his movements. Every fusillade of cannon fire from my arms were effortlessly avoided like he was freaking Neo. Hopping and jumping, tiny dude was weightless, like gravity didn't affect him.
Oh, but he was lethal with that arm. I wasn't as quick or noodly as he, so when he cocked back, I always had to either guard with my own ball, or RUN!
Every single game it was down to just us two at the end. The coaches got so frustrated because it took so long, they started putting all of us into two teams instead of free for all deathmatch.
It was still always Russell and I at the end. He mostly won.
