Thedisabilitychallenge Stories

Lydia Roth has never before visited her brother, James, ever since he had to leave three years ago. And when she finally accepts the fact that she needs to see him - because, well, he's her brother after all - she does exactly that. She expected what any sibling would expect; questions of why she hadn't visited him earlier. How was life for the past three years. Was she in a relationship. The usual older brother chit chat that she wasn't very used to. What she hadn't expected though, was to find Thomas Green somewhere within the mass of jobs and situations she had been thrown in by her dearest brother. *** cover by @severuslexus

Written for The Disability Challenge - Mobility Prompts. "Evera. What a fitting name. Almost silly, if you ask me. 'Brave one'. Did they know I'd end up like this? Sometimes, I dream about being able to do something, but when I wake up, it's the last time I'm ever able to do it. It's like my brain reminding me that I can do whatever it is, not once again, but twice again." ** Disclaimer: I do not have ALS, nor am I a caretaker or friend to anyone with ALS.
