It was a very dark night. The road was quiet and we were traipsing around Mcdonald's. In honor of our night in the city, we had a small party at Amy's and on the way home we got nugets and just were hanging around becuase we didn't want to call it a night. It was a little shy of midnight. He started to run to the near stream and told me to wish on stars. Suddenly a car slided sideways and it hit him and disappeared. That was my first witness of hit-and-run. I was so shocked and ran to him to check him first. He seemed to break his legs. We couldn't find the hit and run driver and he's been in wheelchair since then. Now he wollowed in self-pity. The ambitious Tom has gone. He tells me to shove off when I visit him every time. His specialist said he needs at least 72 treatments to be recovered. Arithmetic is not my forte, but I know he probably can't afford it. What he trots out as an excuse is only his depression. If I pointed out the actual reason he would feel mortified, so it's nothing to speak of. I did never wish this disaster on him.
