The Comeback

The squeak of wheels on polished wood echoed through the gym. A hush fell over the crowd as he rolled onto the court. The same court where he'd once soared, a rising star. 

Then, the crash. The diagnosis. Paralyzed. But his eyes held the same fire. 

He dribbled, the ball an extension of his will. A perfect arc, the net swished. The crowd erupted. He was back. Not the same, but stronger. This wasn't just a game, it was a testament. 

 A comeback forged in fire.

PS: I am participating in the #30days30stories challenge and this is Day 5. Phew! made it in the nick of time. This amazing challenge is being hosted by Dagny and Nirja.
