“In one horrible moment the last piece of the prophecy became clear.

He put on a final burst of speed, just like the coach taught him in track. He gave everything he had. In the last few steps before the canyon he felt a sharp pain in the back of his leg, and then the ground gave way under his feet.
Gregor the Overlander leaped.”
― Suzanne Collins, Gregor the Overlander
