zapficmonday contest "STAND"

The crowd roared, but Daniel couldn’t move. His legs felt heavy, his heart pounded. “Stand tall,” Coach’s voice echoed. He took a breath, clenched his fists. One step, then another until he was running. Maybe he’d win, maybe not. But today, just standing against fear was already a victory.

Am very happy to be selected among the previous winners of the zapficmonday contest, it's truly a privilege, which I won't take for granted, all thanks to the judges for a job well done.@anastasiabarron
