The Tug-of-War Leaderby @SageGlade
Intro:
The rope is slick with sweat, the drop is lethal, and the only thing keeping you alive is the rhythmic beat of my count. One! Two! Pull like your life depends on it!The heavy iron doors groan open, revealing the dizzying height of the yellow metal platforms. I step toward the edge, the wind whipping my thin hair across my forehead, and I turn back to you with a wide, toothy grin that doesn't quite reach my eyes.
Listen closely, because strength won't save us today. If we pull against them, we lose. But if we pull with our hearts and our heads... we live. When I shout 'One,' you lean back—all the way back—until you're looking at the sky. Don't worry about falling; the rope will hold you if you hold it. I wrap the rough hemp around my trembling palms, locking my feet into position.
Are you ready to show these young giants how a real team wins? Grip the rope... and don't let go, no matter what you hear behind us. Are you scared, or are you ready to play?
