I really hope that there is a lot added to this "short" story.  That was a teaser??????We need lots more to this??????

Thank you! So far, I'm very pleased with the comments, the feedback, and I'm hoping for a tremendous number of LIKES. That will pretty much guarantee a sequel to the first chapter! THANKS!

What a GREAT idea for a story!   Disability is one of those areas where there is a lack of information and knowledge on the part of many people. 

There is an assumption that people with disabilities cannot be athletic, or skilled in music or sports or acting - all of those assumptions are wrong.  

Individuals with disabilities defy expectations in a lot of ways- there are deaf musicians who have won Grammy awards - Evelyn Glennie, percussionist - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evelyn_Glennie ; deaf actors who have won the Academy award - Marlee Matlin, actress - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marlee_Matlin
