Over and over, while wallowing in the same clothes he left the hospital in. His hair was unkempt, and his beard and side burns looking more like poorly trimmed muttonchops. He wanted to send a text to the guys back in Kuwait to let them know one of three things: He was going to be late getting back, he quit, or he was going to kill himself. The latter he did actually think about. Briefly. Then he realized the reason why he felt so bad would be a moot point if he were dead. Then he remembered he had no phone. What causes a man to fall from his pinnacle? Meet Percy James, a man enjoying a successful career with the money to buy the expensive sports cars he loves so dearly, a man with a young daughter who he loves and who loves him, a man who's just met the most beautiful and perfect woman in the world. But when the cracked rocks that Percy James' mountain is built upon begin to crumble, he faces the ultimate challenge that may not leave him able to stand. - This is a story that will definitely make the reader think, relate, and LAUGH OUT LOUD.
