He entered the office very hesitatingly
Took his time to survey the surroundings
There was a macho facade about him
He presented as stoic and falsely brave
He was clenching his fists repeatedly
While wiggling his legs rapidly
Biting his lip so as not to cry
Seeming to fear getting emotional
He avoided any direct eye contact
The approach was carefully orchestrated
As he was extremely nervous and tense
It appeared he might bolt for the door any moment
Finally with some gentle prodding
There was the telling of his story
One of desperation and pain
This was obviously very difficult for him
He broke down and began to sob
A release for all the pain he suffered
His story was very sad and lonely
It appeared he flet like a lost soul
It was too late to save his marriage
That was already irrevocably broken
Yet there was still a family to which he did belong
That was his salvation for which he longed

Another milestone, Terry. The beginnings of a story teller appear. Step by step depictions of an unfolding scene in wonderful clarity. Wrapped up with a poignant message that lingers with the reader. Well done sir.
A silent prayer for the subject of your words ...
