Hit Me Tender

Blood. Sweat. Tears.

Nothing Ragger isn't accustomed to.

He was forced into the ring when he was young, locked up and caged when he wasn't training or fighting in the rings.

So far, he still has a grip on sanity and humanity.

Not for much longer.

When a girl steps into his life, it takes an unexpected turn.

He starts feeling again, seeing through the blood-lust and simplicity of driving his fist over and over against into flesh.

Whether it will end in a happily ever after - that's uncertain.

After all, there's no happy endings inside the ring.

Only the victor and the loser; the breathing one and the one that's not; wrapped in a never ending circle.
