Ferocious butterflies anxiously beat their wings within, transforming formerly amiable people into irascible ones instantly. The silence is effusive with apprehension; the mind, thoughts. The gargantuan yellow vehicle piques interest as it releases the tawdry team onto the field. The once odiferous and redolent, the grass is tainted with the stench of opposition; a stench evocative of bloodshed. Tap, tap, pass. Mesmerizing rhythm and motion of the outer body attempt to counter inner madness. Tap, tap, pass. The first whistle blew. One chance. One moment. One game winning finesse. Tap, tap, shot. Exuberance rises with every touch; every sting of the ball after it crashes into your flesh. Tap, Tap, check. Every play must be strategic; every move, dexterous. Tap, tap, pass. Give it all you’ve got. Tap, tap, sacrifice.
