The Ringer's Guardian Angels

The boy sits on the bench and stargazes before the match. Eating anything with potassium to prevent weakness. Warm-ups have started for the young ringer and confidence is low; In this David vs. Goliath match, only one winner will be called champion. A tennis match that is best out of five sets, each was different like a movie. The first set of the tennis match David did everything he could but lost. The same could go for the second set that match and goliath only needed one more. After that David thought about what his parents always taught him. Never give up when the times are at your darkest and only fear exists if you don’t try David thought about his parents a lot and wish they were still here too see him play. David ended up beating Goliath, no one ever heard of David, and the only fans he had were the two sitting in the front row with halos and overlapping wings of faith.
