The aspirants waited for the selection process to begin. They had gone through a rigorous evaluation of their skills to reach the final stage of selection.
They had been instructed to react to the projected slides. The illuminated screen showed a tunnel.
The aspirant’s role numbers were called out ……….
#2 – Escape.
#5 – Claustrophobia.
# 6- Dark-place.
#9 – Ego.
# 17– Impaired-vision.
#21-Expectation.
#25-Promised-land.
#31-Reverie.
#52-Goal-post.
‘Tunnel mentality as opposed to tunnel vision is a great asset to any sport’s man. A player who cannot see beyond the goal is a full team in himself’, the chief selector thought.

With the present competition ……. dystopian life styles are what the employers expect ……….
Thank you 🙂
Very interesting. I can follow all the aspirants’ associations but #9?
Thank you.

Good story, Yarnspinner. I can see the advantage only keeping one goal at a time on the horizon. One thing at a time to aim for. Interesting and well done. 🙂 — Suzanne
