Preview of NOT THE LIFE I EXPECTED

Sooner than anyone had expected, they found Avery had been right about the maintenance. The day after they had had that conversation, Ashley was wheeling up the ramp into the school, his mind on the math exam he had that morning, when he heard a crack. “OH SHIT!” he muttered, knowing what was coming. A moment later, he felt the concrete beneath him start to crumble. He gunned his wheels for the top of the ramp, but just as he neared the ledge, the top of the ramp came completely loose from it, sliding away, leaving a menacing gap behind. Ashley screamed as he and his wheelchair fell into it and the five feet to the base of the platform, and then as the rubble of the ramp rained down on him. Then everything went black. * Avery saw the ramp collapse with Ashley and three others on it and silently cursed her mother, her belly full of fire. Then she ran forward, yelling for others to help her dig their classmates out. When they finally reached them, all four were unconscious but all four had strong pulses. When The E. M. T.s arrived, they were quickly revived before being loaded onto the ambulance to be taken to the hospital and checked out, Ashley protesting the entire time that he needed to take this test while it was all fresh in his mind. * “That's the price of your mad quest to force everyone to be the same by treating everyone the same,” said Avery, whirling on her half sister when she heard Morgan's heavy breathing behind her. “Collapsing ramps and injured. . .” “They'll live, Ave” said Morgan with a dismissive wave of the hand. “What are you getting so worked. . ?” “Ashley and the others yes. . .this time,” came Avery's retort. “Mr. Larkin's blind son was not so lucky. By the way, Morgan LA FAT, only my friends call me Ave, and, with your support of Representative Chainlink's actions and their potential cost to my bo. . .best friend, you are no longer counted among that number.” Her younger half sister started to open her mouth in protest, then seemed to think better of it, closed it as her eyes went wide under Avery's fiery stare, then turned on her heel and ran away without further comment. * THE FULL STORY WILL BE PUBLISHED ON DRAFT 2 DIGITAL ON THE NIGHT OF SUNDAY, OCTOBER NINETEENTH AT MIDNIGHT AND AVAILABLE FROM CERTAIN ONLINE RETAILERS SHORTLY THEREAFTER.
