The courtroom was stuffy and oppressively quiet. The legal proceedings dragged on, each word a torment. The opposing lawyer's smug smile was the final straw. He wanted to obliterate the man. He wanted to erase the entire world.

His lawyer, a woman who seemed to have grown accustomed to his outbursts, gave him a warning glance. He ignored her.

He felt the tension coil in his stomach like a tightening spring.

He glanced over at the gallery. A woman there was watching him with a knowing look. She was leaning forward, her face etched with a familiar weariness.

After the judge dismissed the case, he followed her out of the courtroom.

“Did you just…?” he started, not sure how to begin.

She finished his sentence for him. "The Paget's disease? Yeah. Me too."
