I completely understand the pre-writing frustration, and post-writing peace! I think this captures that well. At first I was reading like, omg, pal, don't be so heartless to the other people, they have a right to exist there, too!
Once you said, "Is it too much to ask to have an entire state park to myself?" I laughed, and felt like you were starting to poke fun at yourself for being so difficult and mad at the world.
I love that when you sat to write, it feels like a buildup to profundity, and then instead of something incredibly profound and poignant, it brings us back full circle. That's very cool.
I also enjoy that the children are just being children and it's you and the dads in the park having the true tantrums, ha! Oh, life. We humans are such funny creatures. I like what you did with the prompt. :)
