These Hinges Are For You

These Hinges Are For You

a POAW story by Abbacor

Recreational casts tend to fall into two categories.

They can be authentic to the medical use for actual injuries, and if worn for more than a few hours or a weekend will usually follow the normal time frames indicated by the ‘injury’ being presented.

Or, a recreational cast can be used to fulfill a fantasy wish or dream. In these cases they may or may not originate from a ‘normal’ medical situation, but will usually evolve into something that would be considered abnormal in the medical profession. These casts also tend to break the standard time frames of medically necessary casts as well.

This is the story of one such fantasy cast that went a bit farther than normal and got caught up in a world where a man’s wish gave a sort of life to casts that could respond to either medical necessity or fantasy wishes.

Waking Up In A Halo

What would it be like to wake up one day to find that you can’t move your head, and the last thing you remember is going to bed with no problems? With my recent, and very real, experiences I think I can give you a pretty good idea of what it would be like.

The Day After

The Day After

a Price of a Wish story

by Abbacor

* It is the day after James has been brought to a hospital in central USA. He lies in a private room completely encased in a head to toe glow-in-the-dark cast that only has opening just big enough for medical tubes and wires to pass through, nothing else is exposed. Doctors are at a loss as to what to do and how to handle their patient while reports of the effect of James’ wish begin to crop up from further and further away from where he lay.

In London, England a young woman is about to embark on an adventure that will impact her very life in an unexpected and unfortunate way. Her choice of materials will manage to fulfill the necessary criteria to fall under the now spreading effect that is occurring with any cast that is applied. While the wave of affected people would not reach her part of the world for another four to five days, her own desires and dreams are just as strong as those James holds. Because of this her own creation will ‘come to life’ much earlier than others in her region and she will become the very first non-medical recipient of James’ wish in the world. But due to the differences and timing of her situation her story was lost in the hysteria that quickly erupted. *
