The Story of The Failure of Francis The Ice Hockey Player

hello children, back in summer of 2002, frannie, frances had a promising career in the field of ice hockey. he was quite the athlete and set several high school records but one day as a junior, frankie suffered a terrible injury, one that would end his hockey career prematurely. you see children, frannie got hooked on pain medications and started drinking heavily. not only did franny never return to the ice but he never finished high school due to his addictions which landed him in a rehabilitation center instead. after a few years, in and out of rehab, franny got clean and got himself a job at the local ice skating rink, issuing out skates and collecting fees.

frances had a shot at going pro but that’s not going to happen now, he blew out his knee, tore some serious cartilage so now frances works at the roller rink. the one in his home town, issuing out skates, collecting fees, watching all the able bodies having fun, good times, ha, ha, they go round and round, they go, hi-fiving one another, laughing and enjoying their ability to skate, very much to the dismay of frances who sits behind the counter, watching, green with envy, day dreaming of the old days and what could of been.
