Megan Suzuki Posted January 8 Posted January 8 (edited) [Scene: The same quiet city street at dusk. Megan Suzuki leans against a lamppost near a coffee shop, catching her breath after a jog. A fan, holding an old OCW program, approaches hesitantly. Megan notices and gives a small nod, inviting the conversation.] Fan steps forward, gripping the program nervously Fan: You’re Megan Suzuki, right? I’ve been a fan. Your match with Ashley Moore at Riot was insane. I was so sure you were gonna take it. Megan exhales sharply, a mix of frustration and appreciation crossing her face Megan: That match… yeah. Ashley’s no joke. I went in with a plan, thought I had her figured out. But sometimes, your opponent’s just got your number that night. I’ll be real, it stung not walking out with the win. Fan nods sympathetically Fan: And then you missed the ‘80s show after that. Everyone was talking about how much you would’ve crushed it in that setting. You were, like, the perfect fit. Megan sighs, rubbing the back of her neck Megan: Tell me about it. Missing out on that event felt like another loss. I had everything planned out—gear, music, the works. But life outside the ring doesn’t always ask for your permission. Something personal came up, something I couldn’t ignore. I hated sitting on the sidelines, but I had to take care of business. Fan: You really were missed. Everyone was hyped to see what you’d bring to it. Megan smiles faintly, a hint of regret in her eyes Megan: I appreciate that. It just means I’ve got to make the next one unforgettable. The Ashley Moore match, missing the ‘80s show—it all lit a fire under me. When I come back, it’s going to be a whole new level. No excuses, no distractions. Just me, doing what I do best. Fan holds out the program, hopeful Fan: I believe you. Can you sign this? Megan takes the program, signs it with a quick message, and hands it back Megan: There you go. And thanks for sticking with me. Fans like you? You’re why I’m not done yet. Fan beams, clutching the program tightly Fan: Can’t wait to see you back out there! Megan watches the fan leave, her smile fading into determination. She adjusts her hoodie and sets off jogging again, her steps purposeful, her mind focused on her return Megan: (To herself) Time to rewrite the story. Edited January 14 by Stacy Clark 4 1
