Sunday Skating

Clancy’s friends skate through the quiet Sunday streets, while Clancy feels self-conscious, and embarrassed, that he’s just a beginner. His board stays tucked under his arm; his feet stay firmly on the ground.

But his friends aren’t giving up on him and Clancy realises the only way forward is to step on his board and try … even if he might fall.
