Shara MayoDay #3: Dreams Come True
Virgil jolted out of his slumber at the memory of the play. His eyes slowly adjusted to the brightness of the room, but he did not know where he was until he heard the steady beeps of the heart monitor. A concussion he remembered the doctor saying.
That was it. The end of his career. His fourth concussion in the past two seasons.
Before the accident, he wanted nothing more than to hang up his helmet and travel the world. But he never thought he would face something as unimaginable as never playing football again. He supposed this was his karma. He made a wish and it came true. Of course, it was not in the way he thought it would play out, but now he has this opportunity.
One week after his discharge, he found himself buying a ticket. It was the perfect timing, and nothing would stop him.
