Their last breathe I take a seat on the cold stone bench of the arena. The rumble of the crowd fades into my head; the thick July air makes it hard to breathe. It is not my fight but my nerves acts as if it is‚ shaking in anticipation and fear. The competitors take their places on opposing ends of the field.
