I can
do this. I’m so close. Just a few more feet, and I’ll win! Finally, I’m going to win! I’ve never come in first before, and now it’s
finally going to happen. I’m finally
going to show people that I can be good at something. They always said the only thing I was the
best at was losing. Well, look at me
now! I’m in first place, and that’s not
gonna change!
Wait, I
am in first place, right? I don’t see
anyone in front of me, so I must be. I’d
better check. NO! Looking anywhere but right in front of me is
a waste of energy. Keep my eyes on the
finish line, that’s the best way. So
close. So close to no longer
losing. I’ll be good that things. Maybe I can finally become the best at
something. Well, other than being in
last place. Because I’m in first now,
and nobody can change that!
Wait,
what was that? Did I just kick
something? Nah. Couldn’t be.
The track is clean and smooth.
Nothing to trip over here. But
then, why is the ground getting closer really fast? Huh. I
guess I did trip over something. Well,
that doesn’t matter too much. I’ve heard
of people tripping in races and still winning.
That’s what I’ll d. Heck, it
doesn’t even hurt very much. I can keep
going. I’m still in first, after
all. This might even be a good
thing. If I trip and fall, but still
win, that’ll make me seem even better to others. I just have to stand up and go.
Hold
on, why isn’t my leg working right? My
right leg is working fine, but my left doesn’t seem to want to move. Hmm.
Well, I’m sure my lead is big enough that I can still go, right? Wait, why is everyone stopping? I haven’t finished yet, and I don’t think
anyone else has either. Is there
something wrong with the finish line or the track or something? I didn’t see anything.
And who
are these guys? They’re not runners. In fact, they look like EMTs. Oh, right.
That’s because they are.
Duh. Why do I need them
though? It’s only a scratch. It’s not like that ever stopped anyone. Hey now, they’re getting in my way. I’m trying to run here, and they’re trying to
keep me on the ground. That’s not
cool. Dude, they’re not even listening
to me. I keep telling them I’m
fine. It’s like they don’t believe me or
something.
Hm? Wait, what’s that? That lump wasn’t there before. In fact, my leg looks kinda weird. It’s all bendy and stuff. I’m pretty sure I’m not double jointed or
anything. Actually, none of the bends
are in the normal place. Ow. What was that? Why is my leg starting to hurt so much? Well, I can’t let a little pain stop me. I’ve got a race to win. I gotta show people I can be the best at
something, right?
Wow, my
leg is really hurting. Like, really
bad. Is it that big lump in there? Or is it that my foot is kinda…twisted? Or maybe it’s both. OW!
Hey, man, that hurt! I thought
these guys were supposed to be helping me, and here they are stuffing my leg
into some kind of clamp or something.
Wow, this really hurts. Why does
it…Oh. Oh dear. I broke my leg, didn’t I? Wow, that sucks. Now how am I gonna show people what I can
do. At this rate, I’ll just be the best
loser who got hurt on a smooth running track.
That’s not cool. Man, this hurts
really bad. Well, I guess I’ll think
about it after…I…

I'm sure (s)he'll be fine. I'll leave exactly what happens to your imagination though.
