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' :)]

Mia Cordova is a nurse's aide at Los Arcos Care Center, a large skilled nursing facility caring for the profoundly disabled. Abby Tate, Mia's twenty-one-year-old patient, has been in a coma for almost two years, kept alive on a ventilator. When Abby unexpectedly wakes up to find herself a quadriplegic, she withdraws into her own inexpressible feelings of grief, loss, and fear. As her memories return, it seems Abby is somehow unconsciously channeling some dark and vengeful power, a malevolent force that threatens to destroy everyone and everything around her.

Imagine pursuing the love of your life if you could not move. The Walking Man tells the story of a quadriplegic man's struggle to be with the woman he loves. This original love story begins when a teenage boy inexplicably becomes paralyzed. His family tries to care for him, but tragedy ensues, forcing the young man to be institutionalized. At Leicester County Hospital, a facility dedicated to excellence in everything it does, our hero learns to deal his anger, and then finds love when a volunteer stops by to read the New York Times. Despite their spiritual connection, physical desires deter their union forcing "the walking man" to devise a plan to win back the one he loves.
