The relentless sun beat down on Liam's back, reflecting off the polished chrome of the clinic's entrance. He wiped the sweat from his brow with a hand that trembled slightly. He was late, again. The bus, naturally, was delayed. He hated being late. He hated everything.

The lobby’s air conditioning blasted frigid air that did little to cool his seething heat. He just wanted to scream.

He checked in with the receptionist, her vacant expression only deepening his resentment. He wanted to scream. He wanted to break something.

He collapsed into a chair, his muscles screaming in protest. A man, sitting beside him, was staring at the floor.

He looked up at Liam, his expression a mirror image of Liam's own internal storm. "You here for the… the fun stuff?"

Liam gritted his teeth, his throat constricted. “The pain in the ass bone disease?”

The other man just nodded.
