Note: As you read this I am midway through a week long mission trip in Central America. For the second year I traveled to Belize and am working with a seven person team to do some work at a tutor center. We began building bookshelves for a new library yesterday.

Adam had waited forever for his prized brown boots. A nickel here, a dime there and his hard work finally paid off. Roads trod with bare feet in summer were not so bad, but frozen gravel and mud was a different animal.
His new brown boots squeaked but that was okay. He wore them like a badge of honor. He ran all the way from school to the pier at the pond. Increasing speed he was headed for a record breaking cannonball. He imagined the screech like a cartoon when he skidded to a stop. Not with the boots!

Great piece of writing.
That prompted a good chuckle from me. Lovely!
I saw this as a pier also at first but the story didn’t come. Yours did and it was a perfect fit.
Nicely written
