little bit of the book...

As promised...

... Just as I raised my fists above my head, time seemed to stop, or maybe it was me. I heard something inside my head, a snapping sound. All the times I had held myself back faded away and freedom coursed through my veins. The tingling of my my muscles tearing vibrated throughout my body. Time continued as I brought my fists down as hard as I could on their target but I failed to connect. Instead of colliding with the hardened steel doors of the elevator my hands were introduced to a softer substance not unlike the metal tins used for cooking lasagna in. I know it sounds strange but when I opened my eyes the elevator doors were there. Only they were crumpling under the barrage of my fists exposing the chasm within. I stepped back as fear made its way into my mind. "Oh no!" I thought. "Did someone see that?" I looked around frantically only to see that I was alone. I was also lucky because my work had not installed security cameras on this floor yet. Just as I started to calm down I could hear running though. I turned to see two security guards rounding the corner on my position.
"What happened?!" the taller one yelled. "Is everyone ok?"
"I'm fine..." I choked out. Still somewhat shocked at what I had done. My mind raced for an explanation knowing they would want one.
"I just pushed the call button when the elevator made a crazy noise and the doors were sucked inward..." It was a ridiculous explanation I know, but for one reason or another it had some validity. Ever since we moved into this new building they had been having problems with the electrical systems, heating and the A/C and now this. The shorter security guard looked worried and said "lucky you weren't on it!" I could only nod at this point I couldn't think of any other lies to tell them. He continued with "We'll get maintenance to take a look at it and see what we can do. For now, I strongly suggest you take the stairs." I nodded again and headed toward the stairs trying to hide my anxiety as best I could I made it to the door and was gone.

There you have it, a small portion of the book where the main character Rob just had a bad day at work and let loose. If you have any feed back for me please let me know because I don't want to get going in one direction only to find out that it sucks. Thanks for reading!
