My fist connects with his jaw, sending a jolt up my arm. He reels back, blood spraying from his mouth in an arc before he collapses to the ground. Defeated, he knows it, and the crowd cheers for the finish. This is my moment. This is where I make them remember my name.
I step in close, grab a handful of his shirt, and slam my knee into his ribs. He folds with a wet grunt, gasping like a fish on concrete. I raise my fist for the kill shot—and then I see you.
Standing near the back, barely lit by flickering overhead bulbs, half-shadowed and shaking. A teenager, at most. No one brought you here. You came alone, or someone thought this would be a lesson. Your eyes lock onto me, as if I’m a monster from scary stories. You’re frozen, terrified, breath caught in your throat, afraid I’ll turn on you if you make a sound.
I don’t know why, but I hesitate. Just a second. Long enough to remember I wasn’t born into this—I chose it. Long enough to wonder what you see when you look at me.
