Miles - Makeshift Hammock

“Come ahhhhhn,” he urges, pointing up toward the sky behind me. “Enough utility poles for two.”

I follow his finger and spot the second one. Turns out making a hammock loop is super easy, and soon I have my very own “therapy swing” to turn upside down in. Immediately, tension in my back that I didn’t even know was there melts into nothing.

“Ooh, that is nice,” I have to admit.

“Right?”

“But you know what would feel even nicer?” I make a second hammock loop, this one connecting Peter’s utility pole and mine, and hop into it like a lounger, with my hands behind my head like I’m chillin’ on a beach in Cancun. “Now all I need is a coconut drink with a paper umbrella.”

Peter chuckles.

“That works too! Long as you’re relaxed, man.”
