Quantum Lapse: Episode 1

*1*

A reigning number one athlete keeps his place at the top by both physical and psychological superiority.

It’s not only exertion and excellence at the sport that keep him at the number one spot, but also the firm belief in his invincibility. If his competitors believe in his impregnability as well, then he will keep that number one place for a long time. Feeding into the psyche that the Stasi were supreme kept every Eastern German shut for life, though in the end, it took the people a few months to bring the system down on its knees. Psychological dominance is much more powerful and durable than any competitor’s strength.

And Lela Kraft believed in that.

After all, that is what her father had taught her, and it had proven right so far. Since her first year in elementary school, and throughout her entire education, the top spot of the class was always reserved for her. She earned her place with exhausting study, patience, punctuality, and of course, by emphasizing the vast distance between her and the rest of her class.
