Breakfast of Champions
Another bout of coughing wracked Doc’s chest, leaving him gasping for breath. He curled his sweat-soaked body deeper underneath the covers, bloody rag clutched in his fist. Incessant bleating from a rooster in the street below indicated morning had finally arrived. Exhaustion weighed on Doc’s limbs as heavily as the blanket. He coughed again and squeezed his eyes closed, willing sleep to end the misery.
