The sterile glow of hospital fluorescents washed over Pecco, bleaching his skin as sweat-dampened hair clung to his forehead. The IV line tugged sharply with his slightest movement, a painful tether to the reality that had replaced the roar of the track.

The monitors beeped a steady, monotonous rhythm, marking time in the quiet twilight as he wrestled with the hope of returning to the bike.
