Defeat's ugly face.


He was ahead of the other participants. Every drop of sweat reminded him of all the hard work. His life unfolded in front of his eyes as he saw the finish line in the distance. He had to win this. He needed the money for Abdul's education. In the next few seconds, he tasted sweet victory. He kissed the medal around his neck and shed a tear of joy. He said a happy prayer and looked up at the sky. He knew he saw his parents' proud smiles. 

All of a sudden, he woke up with a start to the sound of his crutches fallen on the floor.
