I sat with this for a while; the "mystery" aspect, for whatever reason, hung me up. There's a "supernatural-mystery-thriller" type story that I almost wrote instead, but I decided to stick to the classic mystery genre.

I grew up in a small town—one of those places where everyone knows everyone else. I love my hometown ferociously. I grew up there; my parents grew up there—a place of deep roots and long-lasting relationships. When I was in high school, I suffered a catastrophic accident while volunteering. Without getting into the graphic details, a giant piece of equipment with a razor-sharp edge fell on my legs and sliced me halfway through the bone down the length of my shin. It was gnarly.

I was obviously treated on-site and rushed to the emergency room. My family doctor at the time was immediately called to treat the injury. Being near the same age as my parents and had likewise come from families that lived in the town for generations. Of particular note, his family and my family had a bit of a rivalry. Nothing nefarious or anything, just old sports rivals dating back 30-40 years.

When I say he did little to treat my significant injury and instead endeavored to do me harm, I'm intentionally being vague. Luckily, if you can call it that, the wound was so fast and severe that I never felt it. Nor did I feel the "treatment" that was applied. Which included calling me names, laughing at the injury and the fact that I'd never be able to play sports again, and dumping iodine into the wound while watching my face for a reaction. A pretty wild experience for a young kid to endure.

My parents were none too pleased, obviously, by the whole ordeal. This was back when lawsuits were still relatively taboo, especially in a small town like we lived in. You handled your problems yourself. Doing so was a matter of pride. So, when my family began to grumble about how I was treated, word got around the town, and here is where the "mystery" starts. The whole thing was swept under the carpet. Documents were changed or lost altogether. The doctor promptly closed his practice and disappeared from town. Nobody would talk about it. Even the place I had been volunteering was evidently in on the conspiracy because they wouldn't acknowledge my "ever having been there." This was funny because I volunteered there regularly - like weekly!

It took me a while to walk again. I lived with severe cardiovascular damage to my legs for a decade before a new surgery to correct the damage became available. All because of the initial treatment (or lack thereof). To this day, I still have no idea what happened to that doctor! I laugh about it now, but back then it was this whole web of lies and deceit. Everyone knew that something bad had been done, but it just went away. If I hadn't bourne the scars, literally, from the event I'd have probably succumbed to the town-wide gaslighting myself!

I've always thought that would make a good story. Kind of a mystery-drama about the potentially ugly side of living in a small town.

The funny thing is, that injury changed the trajectory of my life completely. And, I'm thankful for that! I love what I do and where I'm at in life. Had that injury not happened, who knows where I'd be?!

If you want to know the supernatural option, you'll have to ask for it. Thanks for this one! It was a fun one to answer.(less)
