Overcome by Guilt
He was 18, needing only to pass one exam.
Locked up in his room all weekend, studying endlessly.
The day had come. He walked into class, the teacher hands out the exam. In that moment, all the information fled his head.
Five minutes left. He made a split decision.
That night he couldn’t sleep, I cheated.

Play clock winding down. The rookie’s eyes are glued on the quarterback, trying to read him.
Ball is snapped, bodies collide. Rookie holds them. They win.
