The familiar squeak of the gym floor felt different. Mark, usually the reliable setter, now had to step up to be the team's primary attacker. He knew the moves, he knew the drills, but the shift was stirring up an unknown uneasiness.

He watched the ball sail over the net, his heart rate accelerating. He felt a sting, a slight ache in his chest. His usual role was a comfortable one. Now, he needed to make the play.

He felt the weight of the moment pressing down on him. Each spike felt like a test, each successful point offering only a moment's respite.
