The intense moment
throughout the whole gym
when the score is
twenty four to twenty three
she serves a floater
the ball is up, then straight down
not all the way to the ground
but close
the crowd screams
she j strokes the ball up
the setter’s hands are shaking
the ball spins and spins
the hitter is terrified of messing up
but
she hits the ball beautifully
the other team couldn’t get to it in time
the score is now tied
twenty four to twenty four
then
two aces from Velocity
ending the game twenty six to twenty four
while also
leaving the other team Pulse in tears
