'One of Us' by Vlad K Once

Stages, races, victories, defeats - his early life is played out before us on the pages of this story. Entering his world we can, as it were, 'try on for size' the hard fate of a professional racing cyclist who, sacrificing his strength and his youth, like most of us, strives to make his dream come true. Only when he achieves this does he realise that real life goes on beyond that point and that often what seemed to be the finishing line actually turns out to be the start.

Modern sport, like modern life, makes ever growing demands on us. Young people today often realise too late that the trials and difficulties of any stage of even the hardest race come to an end where it says FINISH.

But no matter what, real life goes on, demanding ever further new sacrifices from us!

A psychological drama.
