Swing a little more, on the Devil's Dance Floor [Mad Sweeney]

 I work at Off The Wall. It's a place where I learn as much as teach, becoming stronger, more agile, more mobile. It's a place where I go to keep balanced, to be called out when my limits are pushed too far. 

I come to Lorenzo's gym when no one's hosting Fight Club. Boxing isn't my preferred sport; there's no way for someone my size to win with fists alone but sometimes just the aggression feels good. There are regulars here who know me well enough but there's always someone who has to cat call, who either dismisses me as a weakling or thinks of me like some kind of prey. I've broken a few noses on people like that. 

I'm not looking for a fight, content to take out my aggressions on a speed bag or lifting some weights, but if someone challenges me, I won't back down.
