33. Stiction

From the neck down, she was always moving for the sake of keeping her thoughts from running away from her, or worse, with her.

Between her work routine and her wife routine, there wasn’t any room for the kind of growth that only she and her pillow ever knew about, but being stuck in the same position for a couple of decades had its charms – lack of surprise, lack of expectation, lack of any fear linked to disappointment. Since the first time she cried herself awake in her marital bed, there had been no means of her budging until a car hit her.

From the neck down, she never moved unless another outside force brought cause to it, all of which finally gave her thoughts the push to fun free and never look back over their shoulders.
