Wheelchair Inspiration 2

As the book began to take shape, it irritated me more and more that the wheelchair had this broken weld. I took it to a commercial welder in a nearby town. When I opened the trunk of the car, the three men inside all came over to see what I had. They lifted the chair out and took it inside for evaluation. I explained about the chair and how I used it in my book. They argued on how best to fix it. It was quickly repaired and then the new weld was smoothed down and polished. I tried to pay for the repair but they refused. I promised them a copy when the book was finished. Thanking them, I took the chair home and set it aside. I had it firmly in my mind. More scenes came to me and the chair receded into the background. More soon.
