Right now in my life, I catch shoplifters for a living. It's not all that fun but it certainly lets you know that you're alive. Often in life, we don't really experience what life is about, unless we experience fear. We need our bodies to get a jolt of some kind to let us feel alive, otherwise, we simply exist. A few weeks ago, a shoplifter punched me in the face. It wasn't fun but it was certainly different. It made me look at life differently if only for the moment. In this short passage, my character is suddenly attacked, and though he isn't seriously hurt, it disrupts his life and that of his girlfriend. But it also changes how he views the world and teaches him something about himself. Please take a moment to read and let me know what you think of my book, "Sounds of Tomorrow".

“I’m fine,” he said, arching his back. “Someone ran out from behind the kitchen counter over there, hit me in the face, knocked me down and ran out the door. I couldn’t see who it was, though. It all happened pretty quick and took me by surprise. I hit my head on the floor. I don’t think that I’m hurt.” He sniffed.
“Let me get you a tissue,” Jessi said. “Your nose is bleeding.”
Jim reached around and touched under his nose. He looked at his fingers and saw the blood. “I need to sit down,” he said. “I don’t do well with blood, especially if it’s my own.”
