Time passed slowly as the clock ticked away on stage, and the audience sat on edge, holding their breath.

“No, this can’t be. How did this happen?” Calvin mumbled, rubbing his tired eyes, only to realize his palms were sweaty, too.

He’d taken ten more minutes than Quinlyn and still got the answer wrong. This was his limit.

He was clearly disappointed, but he didn’t break down. Instead, he accepted the reality with a calm but heavy heart.
