Slipping Away...

It's slipping away. I can feel it.

It reminds me a bit of the tug-o-war at Michaelmas.

Rope-burn already...

You grab the rope & you pull. Then you realize that clogs weren't the best shoes to wear for tug-o-war. You're already being dragged on the sandy ground. The rope slips in your hand. All seems lost. You readjust as possible. You can feel the rope-burn on your hands. You're determined to hold on. For a moment it looks like your team will win. Then the other team musters its last strength and at the same moment everything seemingly leaves you. You let go.

Defeated.
