Daily Prompt: Underdog

In the game of life there is a underdog. It’s a person/team who is competing against someone or something bigger than they are. People like an underdog because of the big vs. small sort of thing that is a classic story. You can’t help but to cheer for the people who against all odds are trying to make history and to win the day. On any given day an underdog can win, they can also lose. With some luck and skill an underdog can be the champion.
