Chapter 37

Finding himself in a park just outside his subdivision, David began to amble along one of the seemingly haphazardly arranged walkways.

Spying a bench overlooking a children’s play area, shaded by tall trees, David, knowing he didn’t need to get home any time soon, decided to sit a spell. It must have been at least ninety degrees, even higher in direct sunlight, and David thought he’d earned a rest.

David watched as a group of younger kids, some of whom he recognized from his classroom, played a lazy game of tag, it being too hot to do anything too energetic. Another group of children were being pushed on the swings by a parent or older brother. A third group over to David’s left appeared to have congregated by a merry-go-round.

One father, a particularly handsome example of the species, kept bending down to lift his daughter fromthe base of the slide. David had a perfect view of the guy’s butt. The tight cut-offs left very little to David’s over excited imagination.
