Praying for a Fracture [Weekly Short-Short Note]

I was feeling restless as we approached our regular game against our arch-rival, the Blue Moon. They will likely be our opponents in the college football championship final held in December.

My position is defensive end. The star play is, without a doubt, the quarterback sack. You charge straight at the QB to deliver a tackle.

The opposing QB is the number one player among students. If only he would get injured...
The coach hasn't given explicit instructions, but it's implied that we should crush the QB.

The game started, and I had found a habit in their offensive line. During pass plays, their protection is strong on the inside but weak on the outside.

The moment arrived.

I feinted toward the inside, then used a swim move like a crawl to dodge the offense, and the QB appeared right in front of me. I chased the QB as he scrambled to escape. I lunged for a tackle, aiming for the feet of the QB as he went into his passing motion...

(Is this really okay?)

I hesitated and was a step too slow. I was blocked by the offense, twisted my ankle, and fell down.

(I wish he'd just break a bone...)
