Discipline
May 23, 2018
The whistle shrills, and I'm on the bench. The isolating pressure of my headphones envelopes me, but cannot quiet my mind. “Why not me?”
“Unreliable,” he said.
It stung my soul.
A cold breeze whips across my exposed left shin, my right leg insulated by my sock. I neither expect nor receive sympathy.
