See, Field hockey sticks are made from some tough material. some are wood. some are plexiglass. youve got your compact plastic, and best yet your Kevlar sticks. hey, if its good enough to be in a bullet proof vest, it was good enough to knock some sense into your diabolically disturbed older brothers.
Personally i was a fan of plexicovered wood. it was a nice weight and gave a very satisfiying THWUNK when you hit something with it.
“Here” I said, throwing Killian a stick. all the oldest kids here (two eighth graders and 8th and 7th graders) had sticks. we also raded the bags for shin gaurds, stole a few chest plates from a couple of 6th grade lacrossers and we looked like the murderous sports team from heck.
good.
we had all the younger kids gather in front of us so when Aidan, Finn or Sean walked in they wouldnt see our makeshift weapons.
as if the world was reading my mind, the door flew open, sending the pungent smell of axe spray-obsessed Finn my way.
“HEY!!” I yelled, charging forward.
Thwunk.
