Tongue In Cheek

[Bruce Madderom]

The time for action was now and our intrepid hero could not put off the inevitable any longer.

Being acutely tuned to other people’s suffering, his need to right this wrong, come to the defense of those unable to defend themselves, and provide some comfort to this young and troubled life, became the gas that powered his engine.

Taking careful stock of his overwhelmed senses, realizing his body’s instinctual reactions to this onslaught would soon render a state of sensory overload, he contemplated a backup plan, but realized it was his fight.

His training, however brief, had somewhat prepared him for this test of mettle, fortitude and dedication…but he still had his doubts.

His dedication to the principle that in this land and at this time, no one deserves the indignities foisted upon them by a cruel and unforgiving natural world caused him to gather his weapons and brace for battle.
