Like an injection in the arm it shot into his bloodstream…
““Like an injection in the arm it shot into his bloodstream immediately killing off the sleepy, weak, and powerless dullness of the alcohol infused slumber. The adrenaline threw him and his body up from the floor as if it had been electrically charged. Its first action even before Joe’s brain clicked into second gear was to connect his fist with the man who stood over him and straight into his stomach went his hardened clenched hand, striking him like a rock.””
