“Then sit down. Let’s see how long you last!”
Eleanor approached the golden sphere.
Now that she was standing beside it, she could see just how sharp the spikes really were. She understood that the challenge would be painful, and she knew that everyone in the room was waiting for her to fail.

Ten seconds passed.
