The vibrant colors of the track meet blurred before Maria's eyes. The celebratory shouts of the winning team grated on her ears. She hadn't even made the relay team. She watched her teammates celebrate, their joy a slap in the face. She bit the inside of her cheek, tasting the metallic tang of blood. She clutched her water bottle so tightly that her knuckles whitened. The track, usually a source of exhilaration, now felt like a cage. She turned away, the bright sunshine suddenly too intense, and walked towards the shadows.
