i overcame.

i cant lose out to them. not to a bunch of senior citizens! no! i must! i must run, and i must keep up! weird..i don;t feel the strain on my stamina, nor do i feel the usual tiredness on my legs. we ran and ran, and we all stopped at an unevenly laid brick wall. on goes the harnesses and i took a tentative step up. it was different from typical rock climbing walls, as you are only able to gain a foothold on the 1 inch of brick jutting out. it is near impossible to gain a firm grip. but yet up i climb, slowly, with my heart thumping loudly, resonating in the cavity of my body. for a moment, i felt myself sliding off my precarious perch. i tensed my limbs and pulled my body back close to the wall, and i continue. as i reached the top, i was stuck. i have no idea how to climb up. yet as i fade into consciousness, i knew....i did it. oh yes, what a dream. a dream of victory.
