Relay Race

Four runners per team. Stay in your lane. Pass the baton to each other, after I shoot this gun. The losing team receives a bronze trophy. Try to emulate Carl Lewis or Jesse Owens. Barrel down the home stretch and make your way, running faster than a cheetah. Snatch that baton. This is the final leg of the race. You’re the fourth runner, the finisher. Now your opponent falls out of her lane, because you look dazzling. A ten-runner pileup results in mass death. All things considered, it was pretty fun. I’ll try it now — pass me the wand. Wait, first let me tie my shoelace. Watch how I deliver the item to my teammate David, who passes to Yeshua, who then passes to Abraham L. Each of us completed one fourth of the labor.
