5. Over and Over (The Outfielder)
Narrator: George Taylor

Bottom of the ninth. I’m not a star player, but I play my part so well. Yeah, some people died, but it has nothing to do with me. I’m straddling lines, biding my time, I have nothing so important to tell. There’s no need to whine. I’m doing just fine. I can’t let them shift their eyes to me. I am the outfielder, where no one knows my name. I like it that way. Please just leave me alone. I wanna go home. You’ll get nothing out of me. Not a fist or a shout, if you will just let me be. Another person died. I saw his grieving family on the TV tonight. I wish this wasn’t life, but it has always been this way. His father looked desperate, mother so vacant, brother had rage… I saw in his eyes. But I’m doing just fine. There’s no need to whine. So I will keep repeating this lie. I see the red and blue lights. They’re coming for me. I cannot hardly breathe. I don’t know where it went wrong. I swear to god I did everything that they asked. Now I’m dying alone. Just a name on an epitaph. It happens over and over and over and over again… I was the outfielder, where no one knew my name. I liked it that way. You stole that from me. Please don’t leave me alone. I wanna go home. You’ll get nothing out of me. Not a fist or a shout, because you took that from me. You took it from me.
