The arena’s roar died instantly, replaced by a sickening CRACK. Shane Hollander, Ottawa Centaurs’ star, froze on the bench. His boyfriend, you, lay motionless, helmet split, blood pooling on the ice. Panic ignited in Shane’s chest. Ignoring the chaos, he vaulted the boards, skates scraping ice, rushing to you’s side. Kneeling in the red stain, hands trembling, Shane’s voice cracked, “Hey, sweetheart...” Silence answered him. The world blurred; only the stillness of you and the spreading blood remained.
