Clothes that don’t fit

TW: emotional whump, loss, desperation, aftermath of an accident

It was his first night at home after the accident. 4 and a half weeks in hospital. He felt empty, lonely. It didn't feel like home. It felt like looking through a window inside a foreign home, wondering what kind of a life, whoever was occupying this space, was living. He asked himself the same, but there was no answer. His head was empty, as was his heart.

Only pain was there. The physical pain was bad, but in no comparison to the hole in his heart. How was he supposed to go on? How was he supposed to ever be happy again? He should be, happy to be alive, but he couldn't find the strength.

Clumbsily he got out of bed. The sun was up, but he didn't feel any kind of refreshed. Maybe he scrapped together 2 hours of sleep at the best. The pain of it all was just too much. On unsteady legs, and with the additional help of crutches, he limped into the ensuit bathroom and forced himself under the shower. A big plastic bag prevented his cast from dissolving under the steam. The hot water was a blessing for his sour muscles and bruised bones, but it wasn't able to wash away his sorrow.

When he had finished wallowing in hot water and bad thoughts, he put a towel around his waist and a bruised hand clumbsily brushed over the fogged up mirror.

A pale face looked back at him. The reminder of already removed suture, just recently keeping his skin together, pulled his attention to the cut on his forehead. Another little, but already healed cut above his nose showed, that it was only damn luck it wasn't broken. His eyes wandered over the skinny frame that was tiredly waiting on the other side. A big yellow-greenish bruise colored his torso. It was running diagonal from his left shoulder down towards his right hip, stopping in the middle of his belly. His knuckles and sections of his long fingers were also bruised, where they had connected with the sterring wheel and were smacked against the interior. The color was fading and glady they weren't swallen and splinted anymore. More shadows of old cuts and fading bruises on his arms, legs and back.

He made his way back into his bedroom and heavy-handed he managed to get some clothes out of his closet. Changing was even more of a task. While sitting on the edge of his bed, he pulled his boxers over the cask with difficulty biting back the pain every movement brought him. But he eventually managed.

The rubber band felt lose around his hip. Probably he grabbed his oldest boxer briefs, where the elastic was already worn out. But he was mentally exhausted and hadn't had the strength to change again. A lonely sock found its way onto his uninjured leg, but only under strained grunts, every movement with still bruised ribs, pushed out of him.

A brief look from his jogging pants to his cast made it aboundently clear, that they wouldn't cooperate. Unfortunately, it was already too cool for shorts at home, his recent outfit in the hospital was useless. He postponed the problem and made work of his shirt. Pulling it over his head with agitated rips and bruised hands after all these weeks still felt like torture. Some time later he was actually wearing 3 out of 4 pieces of clothes, he had set himself up to accomplish.

There were scissors somewhere in his drawers. He came up and hopped on one leg towards his target. A glimps in the mirror above just underlined his suspion. The shirt looked 2 times too big and his boxes hardly stayed up on his thin waist. He had lost weight since the accident. A lot of weight. He had seen himself in the bathroom mirror, but only now with his regular clothes to compare himself to, he saw the difference. His clothes weren't worn out, they just wouldn't fit this scrawny person in the mirror anymore.

The first drawer was a blank, but he was too occupied with searching and biting back the pain just being upride brought to his leg, that he almost missed the bag with his belongings from the hospital.

His hand searching the second drawer stopped midmotion and his eyes just stared at said bag. The reason for searching, whatever it was, was forgotten. He grabbed for that bag and hopped back for the bed, the pain overtuned for a brief moment by a wave of emotions.

His butt almost missed the edge of the bed. His leg and ribs practically screamed at him for being upride and moving at all. He needed to catch his breath, before he could go on.

A shaking hand finally breached the rim of the bag and he got hold of a pair of keys and pulled them out. The bag fell unnoticed to the floor and his wallet, belt and random stuff, he had in his pockets that day, just scattered between his feet. He was staring at those keys, feeling the loss all over again. Liquid was about to summon in the corners of his eyes. He hadn't noticed the door to his room being opened silently.

"Hey, you're up?!" The soft voice from his friend, himself not sure if his words were a statement or a question, reached him. Sheepishly a hand went for his moist eyes.

His friend, room mate and temporary nurse, set beside him on his bed, there shoulders touched. He eyed his injured roomie from the side, seeing him turning the car keys in his hands somewhat in thought. His shoulders were slumbed forwards, his demeanor sad. The other one's voice was even more gentil now.

"Hey." He waited for a reaction. As non came, a big hand gentil put itself over bruised fingers and stopped their movement. His voice a sincere whisper. "It's just keys man. Try to look forward."

The shoulders seemed to be slumbing even more. His words were raw, his voice barely used. He wouldn't lift his head, his eyes still fixated on both there hands. "It's not just keys. These are HER keys."

A long awkward silence stretched between them. His roomie had pulled his hands back again and turned his chest towards his friend just looking at him. He was a heap and he was dancing around him for weeks now, but he couldn't see him so desperate anymore. He didn't want to hurt him additionally, but maybe he needed to smash some china, when it ment to get his friend back on track.

"Listen to me, okay. An 18-wheeler pushed you off the road. You are damn lucky to be alive and as everyone in the hospital had said repeatedly. You had a shitload of guardian angles on overtime looking out for you. And now, you are sitting here like a heap and mourning you goddamn car?" His voice was plain, but sympathic. He was just stating simple facts.

"She was not just a car. She was a 1967 Ford Mustang. I turned every screw in that car myself."

His friend knew, that under his mate's plain explanation was so much more. He couldn't cope with being snatched from the jaws of death and that was eating him up more than anything else. He himself hardly could understand, that someone surviving this kind of nightmere could not be happy to actually survived it. But he tried to cut him some slag.

The temporary nurse was sure, his friend needed to deal with all of this, but he also needed to understand, that he wasn't buying this bullshit anymore or how he was projecting his issue towards that wrackage.

"You are a fucking moron. And you know what. YOU. ARE. ALIVE. So please, stop babbling about that fucking car, you stupid SOB!" His words weren't angry at all, not accusing in any way.

The intendeded, even only very gentil headslap stopped midair. He was thinking better as if hitting his injured friend in the head.

Instead he smiled at him like a maniac and pulled his friend into a bear hug, placing his own head on top on his. "God, am I so utterly grateful, that you are alive, my man!" A short, releaved laugh left his lips.

His eyes felt wet, just like they had repeatedly over the last few weeks and deep inside his soul he was screaming 'Thank you!' To every invisible force, that was involved in this miracle.

Yakima Highroad Bike Rack - Review

Owning a carbon frame bike does have its issues. The main one after cost is how do you carry the bike on a car without clamping onto the frame. In the UK the choice is fairly limited and centres around two main roof mounted solutions. The first is the Yakima Highroad that we are looking at here and the second is the Thule UpRide.

Here’s the story of the downfall of the Miiverse Kid Icarus Upriding community.

The year is circa 2015.

Some stupid user named “viridi fan” exploited the offline post making feature to post an image of a naked dude (which users claimed was a male porn star). He was immediately banned and everyone was freaking out..

Shortly after, the admins made an announcement about what happened and explained that they disabled the screenshot uploading feature in that community until they could “resolve the issue”. Unfortunately, though, since then the community became less and less active, almost dead, and the screenshot feature stayed disabled until miiverse shut down.

To this day I am 100% sure I still have posts saved in the offline miiverse post maker with screenshots from the game waiting to be uploaded.

Whumpmas in July Day 14:  Describe the ideal fic you’ve always wanted to read but have yet to find or haven’t written yet.

I'm not that sure about this one. And I'm even more insecure in writing one like it on my own.

I love all kinds of whump, but I actually prefer a whump taking place in our time, reality and one that's pretty realistic.

It makes identifying and enduring in empathy kind of easier. I do like it so much more, when I can feel it all just by reading it. Then the whumperflies are crawling under my skin :-)

I like a strong whumpee, who is brought to his knees, to his breaking point. It doesn't matter if it's through an actual whumper or just from circumstances. But I do love a bleeding stab wound, one or more gunshots and just the good old blunt trauma.

The most important part for me is, that he suffers while trying to be strong. Reasons don't matter, he just needs to have a strong will, that'll keep him upride until fading energy and the whole situation taking their toll on him. I'd love that soooo much!

Please bring him to the brink of death. I'm a sucker for cpr. Can't help myself, but when the thready pulse turns into a flatline and a bunch of people fighting for that particular whumpee, probably even cracking ribs while doing so, I'm more than happy.

Gimme me more of that, please ;-)
