Despite having the bases loaded, the team was unable to score any runs. “It’s just the beginning of the season. We’re just going to be playing out best by June, [and] that’s where champions are,” Rowe said.](https://wlhsnow.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/IMG_3077-1200x900.jpg)
Gott Gib Mir Gelassenheit-The Spooky Season

Take note before reading: Gott Gib Mir Gelassenheit means God Give Me Serenity
The forest is foggy
As if it is concealing something from me
I clasp the cross around my neck
Yet there is no God here
Screams echo in the distance
They are quiet but this makes them even more haunting
The forest silences everything
Even the purest manifestation of human agony
As I get closer to the screams
I begin to feel forsaken
Suddenly a German phrase emerges in my mind
Gott Gib Mir Gelassenheit
I whisper as I approach a face worse than death itself
