'To hell with it, and to hell with you too,' I yelled, hearing an edge of hysteria in my voice. 'I'll fucking decide what sort of day I need. The sort of day I need is one where I wake up and my fucking leg's where it ought to be and I don't get assholes asking me to choose the prosthesis I like best. Now fuck off and die.' I threw the phone at the wall and...
Lu pushed herself back from the table and Cindy watched her next moves. Lu put both of her hands on the table and lifted herself with her arms to a standing position. She quickly reached down with her left hand and pushed the drop locks down over the knee joint of her long leg brace. She put her hand back on the table and did the same with her right hand on...
Dejected, I walk through the bar. Mike and Leah are sitting at a table by the large window facing the river. Her familiar crutches lean against the wall beside her. He half stands and shakes my hand then sits back down. I take a seat on the opposite side of the table. "Where's Janet?" she asks. "She left me. All of her things are out of the house now." "W...

In fact, Gerard was surprised that Nancy was even walking on the knee, let alone playing sports on it like the tennis game she had been playing when she had injured herself....
Chapter 14: Sarah Comes Home Jeff was having a nightmare about large spiders crawling across his chest. He couldn't move, couldn't breathe, couldn't even make a sound. He lay there powerless as these spiders, bigger than his head, walked up and down, up and down, his exposed chest. "Mmmmmmm." Far in the distance, somewhere high above him, he heard a deep...

Chapter 1 – Flat Tire Chapter 2 - Help No one heard me. Is it possible? The house is so close. I shouted again. What I am going to do now? Could I have broken my ankle?
