The Windshield

by Jo Barrett

Mike's unscheduled trip through a windshield leaves him battling to regain his speech and the use of his body. He detests the pitying eyes and odd stares, but he's better than before. He can walk. Something they said would never happen, he can speak, too, but not well. Facing months, perhaps years of therapy, he's determined to get his life back, only he hadn't planned on falling in love with his beautiful, but very engaged, speech therapist. Someone he knows who will never see him as anything but a client and a cripple.

13 pages - I'm on a roll with better than average short stories. This one has Mike, who was thrown through a windshield having to go through physical and speech therapy. Kristen is the speech therapist he goes to while on campus. He asks her out and when she says she's engaged, he's not sure if she really is or just doesn't want to go out with him. Later when he meets her at a party, she's broken up with her fiancee and she says yes. Really lovely story.
