Billy did everything right to get where he was - fulfilling a dream he'd had since he was a kid.  A ballboy up the leftfield line at Yankee Stadium - at a Red Sox game no less!  Billy was ecstatic.  This was the moment he had always hoped and waited for.  The players took the field for the first time, and camera's flashed like flickering starlight for as far as the eye could see.  Television cameras spanned the stadium with their red lights lit.  A million eyes were on the diamond.  Billy's fifteen minutes of fame would be seen and remembered for years and years to come - told by fathers to their sons, and veterans to rookies for generations upon generations.  Millionaire baseball players, left and right, stood only feet away.  Billy reached into the leg of his pants with the stealth of an assassin and found the straight razor he'd smuggled into the stadium.  His thumb slid the latch forward, exposing the blade inch by inch by inch, as his hungry eyes scoured the grasslands for an achillis tendon, like a hawk would hunt for its prey.
