“THERE IS NO GOING BACK, AND THAT IS REALLY HARD TO COME TO TERMS WITH”
THERE are many untold stories in hotel bars and lobbies after a big fight night. The winners are usually in full celebration mode, a few drinks too many, their guard is lowered, and words are said that will hopefully stay out of the public domain. But the losers often retreat to their rooms and their own private thoughts. Those closest to them will be in consoling mode, trying to find the right words when, in reality, there are none. There will be tears and plenty of them and their suffering, the real suffering, will be in solitude; a future changed or perhaps decided by the stroke of a judge’s pen.
