Suddenly, they slipped and fell, swiftly regaining their footing. This time, their pace was more deliberate, as if savoring the moment.
Once again, the resonant voice resurfaced, resonating from the same corner, ‘Remember, the rain falls to heal your wounds. Run and keep running!’ They pressed on until exhaustion seized them, shouting, ‘Run, let’s keep running!’ As they lagged behind, they persevered until reaching the finish line, and he approached the looming hill.

The journey, fraught with challenges and uncertainties, had culminated in a moment of pure euphoria. United by their shared experience, they reveled in the camaraderie forged on the track and the strength discovered within themselves.
