.A Fighters Pain. (Short Story.)
In a dark hotel room at roughly 3 AM. A man is lying in bed without a sheet. Shivering and covered in sweat.
His shins and ribcage is bonded with h bandage. Under the bandage are blue shins and 2 broken ribs.
He is a nak-muay. A muay thai fighter.
Yesterday he lost by an inch in a championship fight in lumpini. The most regarded muay thai stadium in the world.
He is making small moves and moans in pain as his faces tenses.
His right hand moves slowly to the table beside the bed. It reaches for one of the two Mekong whiskey bottles. He grabs it and takes to large gulps of it till its empty. A small chof from the strong spirit and he lets the bottle drop to the floor.
When the small fan blows his way he feels a little salvation and relief. It’s not much but it’s something. Outside you hear some distant sound of club music and cars.
