Didn't see the pun arriving, but then you say it isn't one so what would you call it.
A fun read, which no one could know what was seen until near the end.
Well done.

Well I'm definitely up for reading the next part! Love all your dialogue here, giving great pace to the story and exuding bags of character and mischief! I wondered if you meant 'burst' in line "As quirky type eighth graders...." Great story with huge potential I think:) Take care Debbie

I'm enjoying your story. The eighth grade kids are definitely typical. I remember my own and I tried practice teaching eighth graders. I've heard of beep baseball. Aparently this is being played withe sighted people who are blindfolded. I'd think they'd be falling all over the place.

Now this is cool, John. You've got me wondering: is Beep Baseball such a thing or is it an invention of yours? Either way, I'm dying to know how the blind could possibly play baseball. I guess if there's a will, and someone clever enough to make it work, there's a way. I guess we'll see in part 2. - Jim

Beans, Beans, good for your heart the more you eat them the better you feel, that's why you should eat beans at every meal. The other works on you too. Goods one John . Typical kids.

This is an incredible piece of work, so dynamic and engaging. Good job! I loved how each kid had a name and a distinct personality, in such a short story. And baseball for the blind? Who even thinks of that? Your definitely cutting edge (no pun intended nor written lol). This definitely put me in a good mood. Thanks!

Best wishes!

Alexandra
