"Victor !! Victor!! Victor!!" the crowd were screaming at the top of their voices. the sun was fading away behind the green hills of Bergville. Victor stood in a powerful stance ready to bolt toward the crowd. Excitement filled the air and adrenaline rushed through his veins as he took off into a violently fast run toward the crow, all while a huge grin spread along his narrow face. As he neared the crowd who had gathered in a semicircle waiting for him to reveal majestic wonders of airborne art, he struck the ground hard with his right leg while simultaneously kicking his left lef up behind him . bowing down as low as 8 inches from the ground allowing for his body to take flight and do the front flip. the feeling defying gravity and being hugged by the wind was exhilarating. it felt like time had stopped. until his body was a clear 2 meters above the ground,but then ... he froze in mid air and his fear of falling came back to him. this cause him to fall straight on his back and suddenly , the alarm rang... gosh . what a dream he thought .  Victor was the youngest of 5 kids, and naturally bullied by his siblings which gave him a more submissive character. and that character spilled over into his school life as well, which meant life was not going too well for him. never the less he didnt hate it, only at times where things got too much he would take a break and go into the mountains alone. life was awesome in the northern part of drakensburg. but sad because it was his last day at school.
