The Race

"On your mark!"
Stones cut my knee as I kneel, fingers splayed, eyes focused on the ribbon ahead.
"Get set!" My neck hurts as I rise, eyes still focused, fingers still splayed.
"GO!" I'm off.
I can't think of the athletes behind me. I must win.

I hope everyone had an amazing weekend and here's to a great week ahead. There's a new ZapFicMonday prompt posted by @freewritehouse over in the Freewriters' Community. Write a story in 240 characters or less. Please try them if you can. It's a great way to start the week, and to challenge yourself as a writer. Here's a link with the details. I'd love to read your interpretations.

Have a great week, everybody!
