At age 9, I contracted polio. At first I thought I was being punished for pretending to be crippled. For a year or so I had been using the slats from the bed and ace bandages to bind up my leg and walk around the house when no one was home. I had always been interested in people with disabilities. Never could understand why. When I left the hospital I was i...
Denise LeBlanc wondered if she was being unduly disingenuous. She was using a ploy once again which she had perfected in her effort to meet men. It was such a thrill to be flirted with, romanced, and just treated normally by men who typically would not even think of trying to pick up a disabled woman. Oh, Denise always insisted on paying for her own drinks a...
Alexis Morgen stared at the woman in the bathroom mirror. Not bad for nearly 50, she thought. Not bad at all. Virtually no facial wrinkles and creamy skin made her look a good bit younger than she was. Her auburn hair was shoulder-length and turned up in a curl. Her startling green eyes looked slightly sad until she smiled. At this realization she pursed her...
Dear Shoeblossom One night, some years ago, I came home late from work, and at the time, I had a tenant, Pilcher. Pilcher has always had the hots for me, he was just a friend for the longest time, and then I found out he had two avocations--one was to move out of his parent's basement, and the other was a deep interest in BDSM I had once shared my group...
Priyanka and John met on a pen pal site for disabled people. They had both had polio as children. He had messaged her asking if she would like to compare experiences about the disease and growing up with it. Priyanka had agreed and John had messaged a short note about his life. After several days of exchanging messages, they began to chat on the internet. Th...
ADVANCED SABOTAGE Ever since Adam had reached puberty, and 'discovered' girls, the two things he enjoyed most on earth were - in order - black women, and sabotage. His interest in black women was complicated to explain, and something he experienced intensely - bordering closely on a form of religion, almost. It came, after he had reflected on it a great d...
As usual, I was running late. Commuting forty miles to work and laying brick six days a week tends to get a little tiring. So, last Friday night, I was ready to kick back, eat take-out, and relax with a few cold ones over a ball game on TV. It looked like a spring storm was on the way, so I was hustling to get home. Keeping the house after my divorce had set...

This is my second story, I enjoy talking with other disabled people. Drop me a line. I will add to both stories later. When I was 9, I contracted Polio. When I left the hospital, I was in a wheelchair, both legs paralyzed. After a while, my right leg recovered about 80% but my left leg remained totally paralyzed from the hip/waist down. I was fitted with...
Memories and Moonlight: A narrative from Ms. Gimply's collection I. Anticipating and Remembering It was a beautiful afternoon in late October. The sun was still far above the horizon. I laughed at myself for being ready so early. Was I becoming overly eager in my old age? No, I assured myself, I had been just as eager when I was young. I had spent the ear...
