We took turns hitting tasteless oranges with a baseball bat into the quarry.

We'd taken them from behind the small grocery store on Wilson ST. They were too old to sell, not rotten but just dry. It was Billy's idea and my bat. I stood in the bed of the pickup and he tossed up another. I connected real good and watched the more yellow than orange fruit sail out about twenty yards before the arc died out and it fell toward the murky water.
