a Log by Levy - Mona at the bat

 

 

Mona's shift was over and she now stood in front of the holodeck. "Levy program beta one" "Enter when ready" the computer chimed back. As Mona adjusted the bag on her shoulder, she blew a bubble with her gum and entered the door. As she entered she closed her eyes and let the smell of fresh cut grass stir memories of times long gone. Feeling the sun on her face she gave an inward smile for although it wasn't real it was still a great feeling. Moving over towards a long bench she sat down and quickly began to change her shoes. Tossing her lab coat aside she reached into the bag and pulled out a helmet. She ran her fingers over the small blue letters on the back that said Dezzy and with a slight adjusting of hair put it on. Searching in her bag again she found the last thing she needed. After a quick stretch she walked out to the dirt area and adjusted her stance. Nodding to the holodeck man she signaled she was ready. In one fluid movement he released the ball. As Mona watched the small white object fly at her time seemed to slow. She thought back over the last few days. Injuries, suffering and the loss of life. The reason she had become a doctor was to help people to save lives but many times it felt like an uphill battle. And now they were going off romulan hunting. "Can't we resolve our differences without bloodshed or violence. I thought we were more evolved than that." The thought started to fade away and with a swing of her arms she heard the crack of the ball making contact. She watched as it flew through the air towards right field. It disappeared for a moment in the sun and then became visible again as it hit the blue stadium seats. The man watched the ball as well then turned back to her "nice shot" he said. With a shrug Mona said "its all mathematics, now keep em coming pitcher" He nodded but she was no longer paying attention. Her mind was elsewhere, the feel of her burnt uniform on her back, the next mission, Captain Davies and President Swaggert. Crack! The ball went flying towards center field. Mona smiled and popped the gum in her mouth. "yes" she thought "This is exactly what I needed."
