It's only a few seconds, but it seems like years everything goes blurry. I hear a loud crash unsure of what exactly it would be. All of a sudden the weight is gone and I can breathe. I gulp air in and finally my vision comes back. Five men in blue uniforms have guns out; one is yelling something about remaining silent. A woman walks up and asks if I am ok, I nod. “Can you speak?” she asks in a soothing voice. I don't even answer. “You’re lucky,” she says. “We had this one in two years ago for manslaughter.

    The citydwellers walked around me. Not giving a second thought to the 14 year old boy covered in garbage, holding a matted ball of fluff that was supposed to be some type of dog. A sudden clatter of metal was what shook me from my frozen state. I turned my head and saw the black suited figures making their way towards me.

    Failure has always been a huge aspect in my life recurring in everything I indulge myself in; whether it be academically, athletically, or even Boy Scouts. I tend to have a knack for challenging myself till I am unable to complete the task given to me, whilst this could be good in some ways it also puts me in some not favorable situations. More recently I had the thought of completing a bike race , after receiving medical attention for a concussion and a broken collarbone. This was not necessarily the smartest decision on my part, especially since the race was longer than I have ever raced before and also a three day event.…
