First Stance

A pulse tightened through my fists. I was no longer still. Before me rose a solid, rough wall. I planted my boots firmly, tightened my grip, and pressed my knuckles straight against the coarse plaster. The surface was firm and unyielding. Good. I leaned into the contact, testing its durability against my own weight. My balance held without a tremor. I drew a silent breath, stepped back just an inch, and held my ground, watchful of every shadow. #SonicTheHedgehog #Sega #KnucklestheEchidna
