Abstract

Nine years after my hands were burned beyond restoration, I woke in the middle of the night with pain shooting through my fingers.

I lay there, barely able to move, when I heard my mother talking on the phone in the living room.

"Hey, you've had a hard time too. You've been taking care of him all these years. He was such a gifted pianist, and now look at what he's become…"

My mother let out a quiet laugh. "A hard time? You have no idea how long I've been waiting for this day."

There was a long silence on the other end of the line.
