Control
The mouse is a small, agile creature, its fur a whisper against the shadows as it darts through cramped corridors and hidden crevices. Sharp claws grip uneven surfaces with ease, while its twitching whiskers map the unseen world, detecting threats and opportunities alike. Teeth like needles gnaw through barriers, carving paths where none existed. Survival is its instinct—a flicker of movement, a pause in the dark, always one step ahead of predators. It thrives in the margins, unseen but ever-present, turning danger into a game only it knows how to win.

The arena buzzed with electric tension as the final quarter unfolded, both teams locked in a grueling 82-82 deadlock. Point guard Jordan Reyes slashed through a double-team, dishing a no-look pass to power forward Marcus Cole, whose thunderous dunk ignited the crowd. Defensive pressure intensified—switching schemes, hands in passing lanes, bodies hitting the hardwood for loose balls. With 1:27 left, sharpshooter Elena Vasquez drained a contested three from the corner, only for rival guard Malik Carter to answer with a step-back jumper off the glass. A critical charge drawn by center Aisha Patel shifted momentum, setting up Reyes’ clutch floater in the lane with 9.8 seconds remaining. Carter’s last-second heave from half-court rattled out, sealing an 89-87 heartbreaker. Players collapsed to the floor, gasping—a mix of triumph and despair etched across sweat-soaked jerseys as the horn blared.
