The Boxer.

The Boxer.

The young boy rolls the bundle of chopsticks hesitantly over his shins, wincing slightly as they assaulted his nerves. Gritting his teeth, he repeats the action over and over again with more force each time, ignoring his body's pleas for him to stop... ignoring the blanket of tears clouding his vision...

With the force of a butcher tenderizing meat, the young man hits his shins with the same bundle of chopsticks which had initially caused him so much pain. No more tears or pleas this time around. His nerves have been numbed.
