A cold streak is inevitable in any player's career. He's going to hit a patch where the game that was effective for him seems to be now shooting blanks. He may even feel that nothing at all is working.

The shop stood a mere five minutes away from the concentration of raids and bombings. I never questioned him. As man who had weathered a 35-year-long civil war, my faith in him was absolute.
