The Story:
Dan is hell-bent on proving that he is truly the worlds fastest man, and will push his body to the limit to do so. As the story progresses, Dan reaches his peak physical condition, and his trainer, Tim, warns him that if he trains any harder, his muscles are going to burst. This takes place a day before the 100M sprint for the new Olympics, and Dan is insistent that he is going to race tomorrow, and show the world that the drug test was wrong. He keeps having flashbacks to the day they told him that they were rescinding his world record, and the conversations he had with his dad during that day.
The day of the big race finally arrives, and the racers are all lines up the starting points. The gunshot goes off and in a blur of speed, all the racers shoot away, with Dan in the lead and as the race progresses, he keeps having flashbacks about the interviews that he partook in the day of the drug test, and how he was so sure the results would come back negative.
Then, just as he starts making good progress with the race, a tendon in Dan’s right leg snaps, and he stumbles forward (not falling, just stumbling) but is determined not to give up, and tries to continue running, his mind drifting back to his conversations with his trainer. We see his trainer in the VIP box yelling out with rage and covering his face with both hands. As he looks around, he notices all the other runners passing him, and we see his face turn to a deterministic expression. Then, suddenly, the billboard tracking the time of the runners starts to flicker, then, everything freezes. Three men in black suits start to approach Dan, who is still frozen in place, while muttering to each other, talking about how he can’t be allowed to cross the finish line.
As they begin to reach him, Dan’s eyes slowly shifts towards the three men, and he begins slowly running again. We see Dan’s leg muscle expand and contract, before his eyes turn to a look of surprise and fright, and he see’s red number’s begin rising out of the ground. The three men in black suits begin chasing after Dan with some speed and, while shouting “impossible” as Dan begins gaining a ton of momentum, and they begin freezing. Dan stumbles across the finish line with a burst of speed, and slides across the ground with a time of 8.4 seconds. He shatters his old record and the world record, however he, when he looks up, the three men in suits are nowhere to be seen. We see the main agent talking into a Bluetooth headset, saying that his observations were interesting, but minor, and that Dan will never run or even walk again.
The scene switches to Dan inside a hospital, sitting in a wheelchair, with metal bracer’s around his legs, and a blank look on his face. A blonde nurse is pushing him down a long hallway, making small talk about her youth. One of the men in black suits is standing at the end of the hallway, behind Dan and the nurse, observing him. Then Dan, still looking straight ahead, tells the nurse to stop, which she does, more out of confusion than anything else. Dan begins slowly rising out of the wheelchair, the metal bracer’s bursting off of his legs. The man in the black suit whispers to himself “sit down” as Dan continues to rise out of the chair. The shot changes to a close up of Dan’s feet and the metal plating (which is now broken into pieces) and shows them slowly rising off the ground, while Dan says, in a heavenly/godly voice: “Free”. The nurse looks on in confusion, still unaware that Dan is now floating off the ground. Then Dan falls back to the ground on his hands and knees while panting and sweating heavily, as the nurse helps him back onto his chair. The shot changes to a close up of the man in the black suits face, as he talks into his headset and says that he will continue to monitor this case for a while longer.
