Crutches Stories

A kid fulfills his destiny.

A tale of intergenerational BIID over centuries. In prep school I became a close friend of Brian Meadows. His mobility impairment was obvious. Over time its cause became evident as he described a peculiar turn of mind shared by generations of privileged ancestors whose story reaches back well into 18th century France. This is a work of fiction. Any resemblance to persons or situations other than those that are clearly general knowledge is pure coincidence. The story is excerpted and adapted from my much longer novel "Buddies." I hope you will enjoy reading it as much as I have writing it.

A university student hitchhikes homeward for the holidays and finds the fulfillment of a lifelong dream.

Originally posted on my other account, horse1201 17-year-old Enso is the laughingstock of his village. As if being named after the ancient document children are forced to memorize and recite when they misbehave wasn't bad enough, his parents abandoned him after an accident left him permanently crippled and needing crutches at age five. Now Enso spends his days enduring endless taunts from his sworn enemy, local chief Anjan. But when someone steals the original Line of Enso, which is housed in his small village of Raasi, Enso is forced to flee for his life. After paying out in the wilderness he is taken in by a kind woman and her adopted daughter, who teach him to unlock his inner warrior. Now Enso, Layeba, and Sholta must team up for his biggest challenge yet: returning to Ensoia and reclaiming his innocence.

Nine-year-old Trey's lonely, sad life as a fatherless misfit is changed forever when the new preacher's kid, the indomitable Charley, arrives. Everyone around Charley sees him as tragically handicapped. Not so Charley himself, who lives life to the full and pulls everyone around him along, starting with Trey. Watch them grow through challenges into young manhood and beyond. This is a revised and somewhat condensed version of this story. It started out life as a short story but its characters just took hold of me until it grew into what you have at hand. The characters and settings are an amalgam of a lifetime of experience, sometimes intense, of all sorts of people and places. In themselves, however, they are entirely fictional. Any resemblance to real persons, places or events, other than what is clearly public knowledge, is coincidental. If you're looking for sex in every paragraph, you need to look elsewhere.

This was originally the idea of oblivions, and then I adopted it. Evalin has a wonderful boyfriend named Charlie and a hilarious best friend named Liv.

But when Erika and Katherine come home for summer break, they find 5 very popular boys moving in next door. Who knew just 5 boys could change their lives forever.

"His leg ached and if he had been able to choose where to sit all day, it certainly wouldn't have been on a school chair. A positive point to his fate though, his friends. Oh, and, Mr Dun." Tyler (student) : 17 Josh (teacher) : 25
