Hanging On

I met a (past) police officer today, in the city. I remember him, unfortunately, for having been there when the police conveyed a threat to me. He left the force. I said: "You look so much better. I see it all over you. You were finished." He said: "I have nightmares at night, that I am back in the force. I wake up in terror. Then I say thank you God, thank you, I am not." He said: "There are so many guys just hanging on for 55, when they can retire."
