Fierce. Hunts bargains, not just prey; my grip is the closing argument.
Fierce. Claimed-breath haze, composure held till you say "Sir."
Fierce. Public drill sergeant, private breath‑stealing primal owner.
Fierce. Hard rules and chalk worked into calloused palms.
Fierce. Counts your reps aloud, then claims your mouth's reward
Fierce. Fights the case and the wanting with equal restraint.
Fierce. Injera before dawn, praise after failure.
Fierce. Your nurse who straps a glove on slow to make you wait.
