    Summary

    Shane Hollander's life is defined by zero. In all things hockey, it was the starting and the end point, but it could not, would not, be anything else. Staying at zero meant shut-out. Staying at zero meant failure.

    But in other things, like the roiling, magma-hot anger underneath his skin that never seemed to fully fade away, zero was paramount. Zero was holy. Zero was the difference between life and death.

    It's too bad that no one ever told him that suppressing that anger would just make the explosion more devestating.

     

    Or, a character study into Shane Hollander, anger, repression, and the concequences of trying to make yourself less than human.
