The Conduit: Chapter 2
Chapter 2 Even at sea, a smoke-filled room can be found wherever there are risk-takers.

Chapter 2: The Tryouts The weekend was a blur as Levi snoozed his alarm as he rolled the covers off his bare chest.

With a few strokes to detangle his moppy curls, he wasn’t keen on appearances, but something told him, make this year different. So with a few globs of hair gel, he tousled his locks so they hung perfectly off the edge of his forehead. Now, time to rummage what clothes I have unpacked, he thought as he sauntered back into his room and opened his closet doors.

He quickly packed up his duffel bag with two sets of clothes, one for the tryout, and one for the post-shower. He placed his cleats into the bag, stained from dirt and old turf from when he once played. Levi couldn’t help but watch a flashback of when he, Malcolm and Silas used to play together, could they reconnect?
