His fingers, the center of attention as he tapped out.

This was written for Six Sentence Story. Denise’s prompt word this week is “code“.

    Marvelous! In my mind, I stood with the nurses in a hospital prepared to see a man have a heart attack and all of a sudden i’m cheering for a winner. Excellent deception my friend.
