INT. HOSPITAL - MIDNIGHT (Out-of-Order Challenge)

That was brutal!

I’ve never been forced into such a tight situation before.

I know, I know. We’ve all been there, right? Well, it was a first for me and let me tell you, I don’t ever want to do that again.

I barely remember the start. It’s all a blur but the last few months really stuck with me: the sights and sounds percolating through the din. They’re burned deep into my core, ya know?

But the most exciting part was today. Or should I say, yesterday afternoon. That’s when the action began. It took hours just to get past that first hurdle.

And when it was over, I took a huge breath and announced myself victorious:

“Waaaaaaaaaaaaaa! Wuh-wuh-waaaaaaaaaaaaaa!”

Oh, my name? I wish I could tell you but I don’t know, either. My parents haven’t decided on one, yet.

Gotta run. Big life ahead of me, ya know.

See you at the finish line!
