Charlie woke up unable to move. He wasn’t limp like a sack of potatoes that could be thrown over a shoulder. He was stiff as a metal rod.
His wife considered it a fitting retribution or all his years of unyielding stubbornness. His doctors thought they had discovered a new, more virulent strain of tetanus. Charlie didn’t care about the cause. Through clenched teeth, he tried to make it clear he just wanted a cure.
But there was no cure. Charlie Stiff spent the rest of his life frozen in place, his dreams of winning the limbo world championships destroyed.
