Friday 8/7/09 - "THE CALF"


FLASH non-FICTION FRIDAY 55

"THE CALF"

He limped with crippling pain from a badly strained calf muscle.

She placed her hands there and heat like a hot oven poured in.

The pain began to pull back from the outer calf areas, slowly shrinking inward into a tiny ball.

Suddenly he jerked as the knot of pain jumped out of his leg.

My husband's hands used to have that heat. It was amazing when I had a sore muscle and he would rub it for me. It was the heat from his hands that helped more than anything. Now, unfortunately, that heat is no longer there.

One of the dragons has a terrible cramp in his leg do you think we could get her to work on him. It seems like a perfect answer.

I think that I need that in the night when I get leg cramps. Instead, I walk around until they go away. Hot hands---like that.

Will the pain really be gone?
Will he be able to walk normally again?
Will she share her healing strength with others.
TUNE IN ON THE NEXT DAY WITHOUT A Y IN IT FOR AN UPDATE.
