Once Jerry Seinfeld came to Helena, Montana,population 30,000.

“How do you stand the excitement?” he said.

Everybody laughed.

Hill Park is an answer to this question.

In a sense.

Page 10: Digital Story

Here, the Morning Light coffee shop,

there the park,

and everywhere the local teenagers, being attractivelybored in a place with nothing to do.

Page 11: Digital Story

In a town with nothing to do.

Page 12: Digital Story

In a state with nothing to do.

Page 13: Digital Story

Always, always the same thing.

Page 14: Digital Story

But I can remember one night, burning in the darkness

of my memory,

adrift

somewhere in those early summer months.

Page 15: Digital Story

At Hill Park, like always, a Frisbee

sailing through the air

distracting us from the empty space

that lay around us.

Page 16: Digital Story

Nothing any different

from any other night

in any other week.

Page 17: Digital Story

But something in that light.

That shimmering, blue twilight of the summer, the unexpected lateness of the day, the sun’s lingering descentthat seeped

into the airand our thoughts

lending energy to an otherwise dull game.

Page 18: Digital Story

The claustrophobia of our hometown vanished

into the air,

into the half-light that had settled over all of us,

and we knew that what we did that night wasn’t important,

and we loved knowing it.

Page 19: Digital Story

We played through the darkness

Page 20: Digital Story

through the mosquitoes

Page 21: Digital Story

through the night

Page 22: Digital Story

The grass was soft on our feet.
