My legs run nowhere as fast as a part of me thinks they should. I can’t lift as much as I thought I could. The pains in my joints are unnecessary, so my mind informs me. And folks around me could be doing a lot more for me than they are now but no one [...]

They were standing there, surrounded by expectant looking strangers. One of the smaller boy strangers motioned a cup toward the new groom who cocked his head off to the side, peering at his new wife as they embarked on some strange game, in a strange town, surrounded by strange folks who surely don’t treat all [...]
