It was early on monday morning and almost everyone was at work or school. Though the streets of New York were far from empty, certain areas were relatively deserted. One of those areas was the wrestling ring which was nestled in a corner of Belmont park in Queens. For young Brooklyn boys like Murdoch and his older brother, Hyrum, this far off oasis of fun on a gloomy winter school day was nearly irresistable. They had gone off to school that morning with their oldest brother, Bascom, but had slipped off when they split up to go to their respective classrooms. It had taken them the better part of an hour to get over to the park and longer to brush the dusting of snow off of the floor of the ring.
"alright, its ready to go" exclaimed Murdoch, beginning to take off his heavy winter coat for better mobility. "Okay, we got to make the rules pretty wide open 'cause we don't got a judge." replied Hyrum, taking off his own coat and hat. "mmkay" answered Murdoch, nodding as he attempted to swing into the ring by the ropes around it and fell squarely on his bottom into the snow-filled grass outside the ring. Unfazed, he hopped back up and climbed into the ring, closely followed by his brother.
They postioned themselves at opposite corners of the ring similtaneously counted to three before running at each other at full speed and colliding in the middle. They rolled around the floor each fruitlessly trying to pin the other to the ground and giggling like madmen as they did so. Finally, after about a minute or so, Hyrum a managed to gain control pin his brother's shoulders to the floor and both boys broke appart, and collapsed on their backs on the floor of the ring, both breathing heavily and laughing. "let's go again. Best two outta three" Murdoch panted, smiling like mad. "okay" replied Hyrum, running a hand through his hair "In a minute. I gotta rest" he pause for a moment panting hard before speaking up again. "oh man! thais is way better than going to stupid school!"
