Could just be a hoax, though. I fake some headaches, everyone gets used to poor helpless Spike. Then one day, no warning, I snap a spine, bend a head back, drain 'em dry. Brilliant.

Now tagless for your comfort.

She had only been doing Roller Derby for two weeks and somebody went down in front of her and she was trying not to kick her in the head with her skates. So she went face first into a wall.

I'm glad my teammate with the broken arm hasn't given up on derby. But I can understand the decision. I've had a ref tell someone on my team that I'll make a great player. I hope that's true. I just wish I'd have been able to do this 10 years ago in my 30s--I'd have kicked some serious ass back then.

Oh, she didn't give up derby after she got her teeth knocked out. She had to quit because the skates were hurting her feet.

Wow, that's some test for anyone, much less a 14-year-old. Emmett is very tough.

There's free Crossfit at my gym, but I feel kind of intimidated by it. I prefer my climbing.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I've been on hold with the pharmacy for 40 minutes now. What in god's name is happening there? I just want to refill a prescription! Why won't it let me do it automatically?

I'd get better skates! I can't imagine NOT skating now. It brings me pure joy.
