There were eleven in all, three women and eight men. They
all seemed unrelated. Some were tall others not so. Different ages, some
overweight. A cross section of what, I couldn’t figure. But here’s the thing,
they all limped. I turned and started to walk away from them. I picked up my
pace but they were gaining on me. Why couldn’t I walk faster? It was then that
I reached the gate. I turned to look back. They were almost up to me and they
asked in unison, “Why are you still limping?” Sweating I turned and opened the
gate. That was when I woke. The pain in my leg … the pain.
