So an Experiment with the Life

So, here we are at the wall. "Doesn't mean we can't try Jackson?" The boy asks, irritated by my presence.

"So an experiment has arisen for myself." I say, as I think quickly to come up with something else.
"What Jackson, an experiment?" He sits, head in hands, looks up and gazes."Why yes, mad science you know? Messing with those nuerons." I go on thinking of ways to go about this. Ah, Kelly Baker the other contributor, she recommended this for me.
"So how do we get around this wall?" He asks in vain. As I make him realize there is no getting around.
"Climbing. The only way, Kelly's going to help me." I look over, as she sits across the room staring at me.
Kelly goes on to say, "yeah, we think alike." Ah, good play my dear . My mind races to think of the next thing to say. I make it up.
"Yeah, this is an experiment. One to commit and challenge each other to having short falls, success, failures." I view her with those challenging blue eyes, as they never give in to anything. Except maybe love.
"I'll win you know," accepting this challenge she gazes on. "I always do Jackson, rowers always win." That smile gives me a wink, she disappears into the dark.
"Wow, a competition? Didn't know that, I'm not competing." I wonder, as the boy who is now silent goes with Kelly, why telling about life is a challenge. "Guess it is hard." One ponders about telling about a journey that is so great, that not even a story can capture it. I guess I'll try. I walk into the dark, following Kelly and the boy thinking and pondering for my next story.
