The news about Marcus getting into a crash on his motorcycle spread around town like a wildfire. The poor Baker kid. His twin, Maxine, had been devastated at school. All of Wellsbury High was keeping him in their prayers.

It could've been lot worse. Some road rash and a concussion.

The doctors told Marcus to keep it easy. He mostly sleeps or paints, at the moment. Right now, he's just starting at the wall of his bedroom, back turned away from the door.
