The gym thrums with the rhythm of the game—the squeal of rubber soles, the resonant thump of the ball. A bar of sunlight cuts through the high windows, illuminating swirling dust as your teammates hoist you up for a shot. Then a sharp intake of breath, a sudden slip of grip, and you are plummeting.

I ask, my arms refusing to relinquish their hold.
