It's the first Thursday, my hang out day with Kenzie, since she died. I bounce on Kenzie's couch in sweats and a T-shirt. Are you ready, soldier? The memory of my last day with her punches me in the gut before I press "Play" on Spider-Man, her all-time favorite Marvel character. At ease, soldier. I realize in that second, I will never be at ease again, at least not for a very long time.

As if I'm possessed by some vengeful me, I grip the remote and shove it at the flat screen hanging on the wall. The rush gives me adrenaline and I have an urge to throw something again. So I do. Until I feel an inch better.
