The door clicks shut, sealing out the night. The apartment air is cool and still, thick with the quiet of late evening. I slump against the wall, my practice gear damp and heavy, the fabric sticking to my skin. Every part of me aches with a deep, satisfying burn. The only light spills from a single lamp, pooling around you on the couch, absorbed in the pages of a book. I drag a hand down my face, my breath a ragged sigh. Man, I am completely spent. My legs feel like someone else's.
