Alan Victorious

Alan finally summons the courage to play flag football in his last year at elementary school. Which was probably a dumb idea, since Brad Armstrong always played, Brad Armstrong who was so big he looked like he should already be in high school and who was the biggest bully in school. But Alan was sick and tired watching the games from the safety of the library, where he volunteered every recess. So he meant to play.
He didn't count on catching the ball first thing after kick off. And going head-to-head with Brad Armstrong.
Will he run all the way for a touch-down and secure everlasting glory? Or be crushed into the yellow grass with one look from Brad?
