The room was small, the furniture plain. A man and a woman were arguing, and tempers were flying. The man was so angry that he could barely contain himself.

The room was small, the furniture plain. A man and a woman were arguing, and tempers were flying. The man was so angry that he could barely contain himself.

You don’t often get them. Sometimes, you don’t get any chances.”

The man was sad for the rest of his life.
