Savior

As Tony walks out the door of his house, he stops, takes a deep breath, and lets everything in the same way he does every morning when he goes on his run. Although he does not always run that far, he will always take different routes in hope of discovering something different or something he had not seen yet. This specific lovely morning Tony decides to cross Allen road. This is the place where most drug dealers, violent criminals and gang members all sit around. It is not uncommon for there to be many ‘Police worthy’ incidents that happen over in that side of town daily. Although Tony is not quite the size of what he used to be, he has learned to use the strength of his wits to get past any and all obstacles that might come his way. As Tony turns the corner to start heading home he notices that three gang members who are in a small circle and kicking and yelling profanity. As Tony get near the small group the small badge on the little boy’s shirt told him that he could not let it go on. Rather than try to talk to the members, he decides to continue to run and jump into the crowd to get the members away from the young boy. As the young boy is able to get up and run Tony knows he has done his job for the day as he continues on his run.

Tony starts to get butterflies in his stomach that makes you want to jump up and down and bounce of the walls and scream at the top of the mountain you just claimed.  Only to forget that once you go up you must come down. This will all be sheer excitement the ability to be extremely happy. This can come from many different activities such as finishing something you know you have been working long and hard at such as the time that Tony decided to tear down a hundred and fifty-year-old barn, just to put it in his back yard. It also could be achieved by getting good news or news that excites you past belief leaving you only to leap over the moon. At times one may even get this way for no particular reason at all. So that can truly make ones experience a one of a kind thing that you and only you may experience in your own way.
