I failed: the missed penalty, the lost race, the bad mark, sentence 4
That night he cried into his pillow so his brother wouldn't hear; for two weeks he didn't want to touch a football and hid his boots under the bed; after a month his coach asked him to take a penalty in training, and he scored; he still thinks about the final, but it has become a memory, not a wound.
Who acts: Bottom, brother, coach, penalty · What happens: cry, not hear, not want, touch, hide, ask · To what, where: pillow, football, boots, bed, Bottom, penalty
