brute

After my wife woke up, I lay in bed for a long while. 

The door opens.

A large misshapen brute of a man enters the room. 

Muscular and twisted, his hulking form loomed over the bed. Stripped to the waist and swollen with rage, he paced back and forth, stabbing a rusty handheld sickle down into the bedclothes as he muttered and growled at me.
