Now Fears Begins

He locked eyes with the bull as he confidently waved his cape before its horn, embracing a poetic mindset.

No contest, no punctuation, no classifications, this bull is going down!

Who truly cares about fleeting fame and fortune? These are merely transient things. I am a pop star, a mantra commanding the ring. I break free from confinement, embodying strength greater than a lion and speed surpassing a racehorse as the bull charges with fury.

Now, fear begins!

The bull’s horn glistens brilliantly in the sunlight, while the matador’s flamboyant costume dazzles. 

Moments of truth unfold in the arena—el memento de la verdad—his life or my life, a choice of degradation or entertainment?

I am the matador, the conqueror of bulls.
