My roommate insisted I go out with her, and we ended up in a car crash. She walked away with a few scratches, but I lost both my legs and would spend the rest of my life walking on prosthetics. I spent more than a month in the ICU. She never came to see me. On social media, she looked radiant, posting selfies and cheerful updates about her classes. Eventually, I withered away, crushed by the weight of my disability, while her life stayed smooth and bright. When I opened my eyes again, I had time travelled to the day she asked me to go out with her.
