Can't Back out Now

Liam and his brother usually get along well. The only problem is, they are too competitive with one another. So, one day they were home alone, and they started arguing about who's stronger, so they decided to organize a contest. They kept going for more difficult challenges and they had both started to feel worn down. At one point, Liam's brother said that he was backing out but Liam wouldn't let him, so they started to fight and they both earned a few bruises. When their mother came back home and found out what happened, she was furious and they both ended up being grounded for a month.
