I'm taking a break for a while, but just to entertain you I'm reposting some of my favourite stories -- I hope you enjoy them as well.

Deep heavy breathing, a huge rush of air with every breath a tightness across your chest, the rush of blood in your ears, something unfamiliar to you. With a groan your head rolls to the side, your vision starts to clear, and you blink a couple of times.
Through obscured vision you see feet, lots of them shuffling, walking, jogging. The throbbing in your head beats in time with your pounding heart; through the noise something catches your attention
“Jason, Jason!” You turn your head to face the voice and blink. Someone crouches in front of you and a helmeted face comes into view. “Jason you OK?” The guy waves his hand in front of your face and you jerk a little. He stands towering over you, still slightly dazed you see him wave at something to your right.
You let out a long sigh, and close your eyes hoping it will help the throbbing in your head, “No-no-no, stay with me bro’, keep your eyes open,” you blink again and try to focus on the face of the guy kneeling again in front of you, “that’s it stay with me.”
You’re looking up and someone else comes into view; dropping a bag. He’s checking you over, the voices are muffled but you think you hear him say, “Did he lose consciousness?”
“I’m not sure, it was one hell of a tackle, helmet-to-helmet, damn!” The guy kneeling next to you replies. You let out a groan and try to sit up, “No, lay still for a moment,” He pushes on your chest, “the medic is here he’s just going to check you over.”
