Volunteer Park

It was a sunny day outside and so on this day, I foolishly decided that I did not need my sweater as the almighty and bright sun would warm me up just perfectly throughout my entire time trip to volunteer park. Of course, it was pure stupidity for me. I was freezing almost the entire time I was there.

Upon reaching volunteer park, a group of us decided not to go hunting for the places listed on our handout, but play a game of tag under the bright (and at this time, warm) sun.

As I see it, it was one of the few chances for us to relive our childhood. When else can you act like a kid again? Sadly, the sounds of laughter soon turned into panting. Not surprising.

At this stage, the sun was still on our side... It was actually warm.

Clank... clank... clank...

Up the metal spiral,

Red brick left and right,

Windows sealed with metal bars.

It's a lot like a castle,

Or perhaps a medieval prison?

And then I reached the top,

How I thought it would be higher.

My panting breath,

Barred windows encircling around,

The large empty room,

So quiet and serene.

The view was hindered by the bars,

It feels a bit like a prison...

Oh look, it's a bench.

Let me rest and catch my breath.

After this, the group decided to leave to walk around the park for a bit before we had to gather together again... The sun betrayed me from this point onwards. It was still sunny (at times, blinding), but it wasn't warm. The wind overpowered me many times as I try to warm myself with my scarf.

Fail.
