Sudden Outburst

An eerie silence engulfed the pitch as the announcement drew to a conclusion. 

It had left many visibly devastated. 

Despair gripped their heart as they stood still at their place with their head drooped. Many could hardly bring themselves to accept the reality. 

Had they not sweat enough? Had they not cried enough? Had they not tried enough?

So, why? Why were they not chosen? 

Questions of self-doubt emerged in their head as they began to question their ability. 

Soon those feelings of self-doubt changed into envy and a burning rage overtook their body, making them clench their fist. 

Even so, gnashing their teeth they stood still at their place. After all, making a scene wouldn't benefit any at the moment. They could throw a fit. But this would only affect their future opportunities. So they desperately tucked their rage within.
