The stadium was a tomb, the empty seats whispering with the echoes of past victories. I walked onto the field, the turf feeling unfamiliar beneath my feet. I'd spent so much time here, so much of my life. Now, it was like someone had taken a piece of me away.

The thought of walking away felt like amputating a limb. All that hard work. All the sacrifices. For nothing. I rubbed my eyes, fighting back the rising tide of tears.
