Abstract

Graduation day, my best friend Blake loosened the bolts on my prosthetic. I crashed down the steps before the whole university, the camera flash sealing my humiliation. Blake laughed, then the crowd joined in. My girlfriend Marci just crossed her arms and patted his shoulder.

"Don't laugh yourself sick," she said, then looked down at me. "See? Public embarrassment builds character. You did not even cry this time." Her words burned. Since losing my leg, Blake had made a habit of it. At fifteen, he forced me to prove I was not faking during squats.
