Brave One

Written for The Disability Challenge - Mobility Prompts.

"Evera. What a fitting name. Almost silly, if you ask me. 'Brave one'. Did they know I'd end up like this?

Sometimes, I dream about being able to do something, but when I wake up, it's the last time I'm ever able to do it. It's like my brain reminding me that I can do whatever it is, not once again, but twice again."
