Lamentation V

Jack gazes downward at his tooth.  A frown crosses his face.  His lips are bloody and the rush is getting worse.  He was unprepared for the elbow that crossed his face.  It was a small, accidental gesture.  The perpetrator was talking on his cell phone.  He was unaware that Jack was behind him.  When the man turned around, Jack took an elbow in the face.

One moment can change our life forever.  Jack will never have that tooth back. Although it’s a small thing, it’s permanent.  That’s what shakes him so deeply.
