Two Little Stool

She was a healthy little 5 year old girl.

Just like any young girl in the village, they play anywhere they could.

The older child will lead and the younger ones will follow.

There is quite a lot to do in the village.  Climbing trees, fishing, picking apples from trees.  

Sometimes, they will even play hid and seek.

At 5, she already knows all of the hiding places. She needed some place new, some place where no one can find her.

And so she hid there.

She was small, she could fit under the big truck that is used for construction.  There is a little space under the truck where should could fit in and lie down.

The game dragged on and she fell asleep.  As night falls, everyone went home for dinner.  No one realised that she was missing.

She was awoken by the shaking of the truck.  When she opened her eyes, she realised that the truck is already moving.  She was really scared but she can't get off the truck anymore.

As the truck make its turn, She lost her balance.  She tried to grab onto the frame but the grease was so slipper.

She fell.

And the rear wheel of the truck just rolled over her legs.

Her legs were no match against the massive wheels.  They were instantly crushed.  Blood pouring from her legs.  

She could only remember waking up from the hospital.  Her parents were there.  She could tell they were crying.

They don't allow her to look under the blankets.  However, she could feel that her legs are gone.

According to the doctor, there is nothing they can do.  The damage was too extensive to the severed limbs.

Her life is saved but she has endured a lot of surgeries.

Her parents wanted her to get prostetics.  So she would look normal.

She finds them too heavy.

She enjoys moving on the ground level using her two trusty stools.

Her parents worried about her future.  No one will hire a cripple like her.

She just enjoy doing business for herself.  She is a fashion and makeup youtuber.

She even owns her own line of product.

Her parents worried that she will never get married.  She will be a spinster.

She thinks fate will give her the lover she deserves.

She is not worried.

After the doctor's appointment to make sure that her health is in good order, she gets on her way home.

On her two trusty stools, down the ramp she walks.

She knows, he is there to pick her up.
