SUMMARY: Billy is stuck at home in a cast, when one of his former students pays him a visit.

COMMENTARY: This story is a lot fun. The author does a nice job setting the scene. He gives enough details to make it credible. He leaves plenty of room for the reader's imagination. He does not cut to the chase too quickly.

There are a few references in here that are a bit before my time. There is also some medical terminology used, herein, that left me puzzled. In neither case was it very distracting. In fact, once the story got rolling I had no interest in slowing down, reading that is, even if there was an occasional word or two that I did not understand. The ending is, well, I'll let you find out for yourself, but suffice it to say that I was impressed by it.
