Unexpected Outcome

All it takes is an unlatched door.
A single latch.

All it takes is one mistake for it all to fail.
All that he accomplished in this life, and yet to accomplish
All for it to meet a cruel end on concrete floor.

Luis didn't think it would happen to him, couldn't happen to him.
He was too careful, too attentive to the incompetencies of his fellows.
One moment of lapsed attention for him to lean against that unlatched door.
And fall.

And yet, it didn't.
Through sheer willpower alone, he survived. Magic. Earth magic, to be exact.

He always knew he was meant for something greater.
