    Reminds me of my brother. He could climb vines up to the tops of trees using only his hands. He could backflip twice in the air right off the ground. He’d regularly backflip out of trees and do multiple spins before landing perfectly on his feet. He was truly exceptional physically. He could run up the side of a mountain faster than most people on flat land without breaking a sweat. On top of that he was ridiculously handsome and could have been the face of whatever it was he was doing.

    We lived in Appalachia. He became a coal miner.

    He done that until he couldn’t stand it and now he’s a jail guard.
