“I had a dream where I was so close to escaping from ‘The Circus,’ the place that had held me captive for so long. I could see the light as freedom was within reach, but then a dark shadow crept over me. It’s so heavy that it makes me suffocate, but I knew that deep in my gut it wasn’t anyone from ‘The Circus.’ In fact, it was something more sinister. A man that is synonymous with death himself, Tombstone.”
“I froze from where I stood as Tombstone moved closer; his presence is chilling, and the mystique of Tombstone is awe-inspiring. I didn’t see his mouth move, but I could feel the message, and it said, ‘The circus is where you are doomed to be.’ ”
“As the words of Tombstone echo in my head, what he said was nothing but facts. Maybe I shouldn’t ask Red for help anymore; maybe I should just listen to Klaus and be the person that he wants me to be. But then, my heart pounded in my chest, not from fear but from a spark of defiance that I didn’t know that I still had. But as Tombstone was about to ferry me back to the path of ‘The Circus,’ I decided to push back.”
“I told Tombstone that I shall not decide where I’m doomed to be. In fact, nobody can decide anything for me but myself. I put myself in this prediction, and I will break myself out of it, with or without help. With the newfound motivation, I took a step forward. Each step was heavy, but they were my own. But the moment I’m within reach, I throw a punch toward Tombstone, and that’s where I wake up.”
“I was all sweaty, breaths heavy as if I had just stepped out from a fight. At first I thought it was a nightmare, an affirmation that I will never leave this hell, but instead, it left me with clarity. Ever since my loss against Ajax, I was a different man. As each day passes by, I lose every bit of control I have in my life, so it’s time to regain control back. It’s never a matter of how dark the shadow is or how heavy the burden is; I’m the one that gets to choose my own ending.”
“That punch that I threw in my dream—it’s not just any punch; it’s a spark that is much needed to remind me of who I really am, and that is that big old ‘Chunk of Funk’ that loves to dance and be jovial towards others.”
“This week at Warzone is the first step to regaining my freedom, and I’m going to fight for it. Red doesn’t want to help me; that’s fine. I will do it myself, and Tombstone, you are my dance partner for this week. You will be my first obstacle before going after Klause and his goons. Now I have a question: Are you ready to have fun?”
