A basketball sits in close-up on a sidewalk next to a patch of grass. The basketball is alone, abandoned, unloved and forgotten. The children who once played with the basketball are grown now, scattered by the winds of adulthood to lead adult lives. The basketball was once, the veil of its scarlet gift wrapping removed, a thrilling Christmas morning surprise. It spent many subsequent years as a beloved companion during innumerable afternoons in the driveway, bouncing off of the backboard, bricking the rim and, in its most glorious moments, swishing uncontested through the yielding net. But the children who loved the basketball have long since remembered it for the last time. No one who ever loved the ball will ever think of it again. It never had life, but it once had a soul. Now it a lonely husk, waiting only to be discarded and destroyed. We all die a thousand deaths.
