The next thing Goner saw were stars and then he fell flat on his ass.
The one punch was a world of pain, full of force and harmful intent. It
staggered him a bit and left him momentarily stunned before the ground
called to him.
The room turned from jovial to an icy cold silence and
everyone turned to see what was going on. Max paused the game he was
playing and made no move to intervene.
Maggie stood over Goner,
looking down upon him, her right fist clenched and the look of anger in
her eyes made Goner cringe like a frightened child. He had never Maggie
this angry before and he didn't want to set her off again.
"What did I say?" Goner asked. He was rubbing his jaw and he spat out a little blood.
"Bitch
boots!" Maggie said. "Do not say those words one more time because they
are derogatory and have serious implications."
On
that note Maggie turned around and walked out the door wearing long
leather boots; the soles of the boots on the hardwood floor were the
only sound everyone could hear.
