A short story about a girl with quadriplegia. EXTRACT: =-=-= She did not look at the waters that she entered. Did not see the swift current that would soon carry her away, towards rocks that lay jagged under the surface.. Was unaware of how the board would flip, how she would spiral underwater, the rip rushing at her. Couldn't make out how she was destined to smack into a certain rock, not enough to kill her but definitely capable of ending her life as she knew it... =-=-= -- So this is from the author like two years later or something: Don't bother with this story. It's poorly researched, poorly written, poorly executed in general. I had literally never met a quadriplegic before or while writing this and I dont know what made me think that I had the insight or talent to write from such an immensely different perspective. THANK YOU SO MUCH @-unstereotypxcal FOR THE EPIC COVER :D [INSPIRED BY 'UNTOUCHABLE' :)]

A scientific exploratory essay on nerve grafting

Shauna is shot in the back. The bullet hits her spinal cord. She is diagnosed with paraplegia - paralysis from the waist down. Her world falls apart. And she's not sure if she can ever make the pieces fit together again. This is a special story for International Spinal Cord Injury Day. This time, it's NOT a one-shot, instead, it will be a short story, spanning six chapters. And this time, I dedicate it to the people out there who have to live with spinal cord injuries. They're some of the strongest of us all.

He discovers Nadine Reneau, a girl who's unexplained abilities might somehow make him feel something again.

Aura finds herself lost in the maze of London. With her life still in moving boxes in the corner of her new flat, a useless literature degree and less than twenty pounds in her bank account, she spends her days wandering around her new, low-paying job at a local bookstore and trying to combat a possible alcoholism. At night, she loses herself in sexual encounters with men who satisfy a fleeting desire. Her inability to find what she needs is dangerous and self-destructive. When she wakes up in Matt's bed - a former military man who has lived in a world of darkness since the accident that left him in a wheelchair -she grows closer, despite their differences. And in the shadows of the remnants that periodically torments both, they form an unspoken bond. But the lines between contentment and complacency blur. Things left hidden resurface to tear their world apart, and before they can repair the damage, the pain is summoned again. Faces, past and present, gather around them to weather the storm, but soon they are left with only the wounds.

Meredith and Derek have had their fair battles in their lives. After 7 years they make their way back to Seattle Grace Hospital with their daughter, to be back with their family. But is it that easy to go back to your old life when things have changed for good?
