Stranger in the Night
“Joshua set the barbell down and stared up at the ceiling of the weight room.
He would conquer this.
Sleepless nights. Terrifying dreams. Fight or flight. Adrenaline surging through him. Pumping iron helped a little.
Slices of sunrise slanted through the blinds as Joshua sat up from the weight bench. On the wall, a large mirror reflected his image. He didn’t like what he saw. Bare-chested and glistening with sweat, he should be as fit, tough and healthy as he had been at the height o...f his military career. The body had changed little…but the face?
Joshua could see strain etched around his eyes. Weariness in the set of his jaw. Uncertainty in the line of his mouth.
With a grunt of frustration, he stood and stepped onto a treadmill. He switched on the motor and began a slow jog. Within moments, he had ratcheted it up to a near sprint.
The morning ahead would bring a trip to the neighborhood elementary school to enroll the two Rudi children.MoreLess
