Alex had never liked hospitals. He liked them even less now. It didn’t matter how many vases of flowers he saw, or how many brightly lit rooms he walked past, he could still smell the disinfectant, almost taste the sharp tang of sick people.

He’d come to see Doc Johnson, get the results of his last specialist appointment. The one that would tell him whether he could go back to riding.

He stopped outside an office, took a deep breath and opened the door. Mrs. Gibbs had been Doc Johnson’s receptionist for as long as Alex had been alive. She greeted him like a long lost relative, or someone that needed preferential treatment because of the news he was about to hear.

“We’re running about fifteen minutes late, Alex. Take a seat and I’ll let you know when you can go in.”

Alex did as he was told, choosing a chair under an open window, hoping the smell of the outside world would calm his nerves. He picked up a magazine, flipped through the pages and found an article on land irrigation techniques.

As he settled in to be inspired, a little kid opposite him nudged his older brother. The older kid glared at his sibling, but nudged his dad all the same. The little kid looked as though he was fit to burst with something he couldn’t hold in any longer.

Before Alex had finished reading the first paragraph, the two boys made their way across the room, stopping in front of him.

“Are you Alex Green?” the youngest asked.

Alex nodded.

The little kid bounced on his feet. “A real live World Bull Riding Champion.” Anyone hearing the kid’s excited voice could have been forgiven for thinking Alex was the equivalent to Santa Claus. His older brother didn’t look nearly as impressed and that made Alex feel better.

“Can I have your autograph?” the little kid asked.

“Sure.” Alex fished around inside his pockets, wondering where he’d get a pen from. Mrs. Gibbs came to his rescue with not only a pen, but a piece of paper. “What’s your name?”

“David. David James McFadden. I’m seven years old and I live at 295 Cobble Creek Drive.”

“He doesn’t want your life history,” the older boy grumbled.

Alex glanced at the second kid. He had a plaster cast on his right leg. The scowl on his face outdid anything Alex could have managed. “What did you do to your leg?”

The kid looked at him, then down at the cast. “I fell out of a tree. Doc Johnson put two steel pins in my leg.”

“One more than me,” Alex said as he scribbled his name on the paper.

“How long’s yours?”

Alex smiled, remembering the locker room conversations he’d had at school. “Runs from the top of my thigh to just above the knee.” He put the pen down and held his hands a foot apart. “About this big.”

The kid nodded, looking more impressed. “Doc Johnson’s taking my cast off today.”

“Must be a relief.”

“It gets itchy when I get hot.” He looked down at his cast, then at the pen beside Alex.
