The Race

 Old man Jerry had been running and losing his entire life. The man was a solid 140 pounds and never gave up on his vision for a photo finish. At age 60 all of his competitors had literally tapped out but old man Jerry was still running. Feeling the urge to compete, Jerry noticed an ad for a death race in the paper so he entered it. The odds of old man Jerry winning were very slim. The conditions in this race were harsh—people were passing out, falling, and even quitting. The temperature stood at 100 degrees Fahrenheit, and somehow someway the fire had still been burning in old man Jerry, he ran the death race neck and neck with a 45 year old man who would exchange leads with old man Jerry the entire race. Noticing the finish line in sight they battled to the finish of the four mile race. Losing by an inch, old man Jerry dived breaking the tape at the finish line and won the first race of his career. He’d done the impossible, his entire life he was labeled the fool who just wouldn’t stop running but somehow he was the last man standing from his generation. Old man Jerry had now set the standards and had 60 year olds all over the world trying to beat his record. Old man Jerry beat his opponents with longevity, he out lasted them all and won at the exact moment when everyone needed a winner. He never gave up and smiled for the camera at the finish line. The grand prize for the winner of the death race was free Medical Care for the rest of the winner’s life. The old man did the impossible.
