The way my blow landed sat heavy in his eyes, like I’d ripped the ground from under him. The best part. His scream hoarse and furious, his throat straining so hard it looked ready to split. Even after they dragged him out, the echo stayed in my head. Up until now, I’ve savored every second of it. There’s a quiet kind of power in knowing you’ve been given a second chance. Not a miracle.
