One Shot Away
“The gym will be standing room only. Jimmy should be warming up with the team. Instead, he’s in the locker room, slumped over on a bench, shirtless, barefoot, wearing a pair of green boxer-briefs covered with shamrocks. He hasn’t slept a full night since going to the lawyer’s office. A feeling that something bad is going to go down is cemented in his brain. He can’t shake it.
He examines his reflection in the mirror hanging in his locker. His eyes are half closed. His cheeks are hollow. His lips... gray. He needs to go back to bed for a week.

Jimmy tries to laugh, but can’t release the ache in his chest.

“I’m over. A pound and a half.”
Diggy finishes washing his hands, then sits next to him. “You can run that off.”
“I know, but I’m already burnt. I haven’t eaten since yesterday at three o’clock. I had a protein bar and I can’t even take a crap.” Jimmy opens his bag, revealing a pair of silver-colored rubber sweatpants.MoreLess
