Chapter 21

Steve watched from outside himself as he threw the first punch of his life that he had truly meant. Time slowed; he watched the veins in his wrist bulge, watched the skin in the crook of his elbow stretch. He noticed his thumb and wondered if it should be outside or inside his fist. He thought about the movie "Fight Club" and if this was the first step on a long and dangerous journey.

Unfortunately, he should have been watching and thinking about Christian, who had taken half a step back.
