The Broken Record Technique, Lee Henderson (Penguin)

Page 105:

He took a break. Something about the way his lungs burned suggested now was a good time for a rest. On a bench he sat and unfastened his leg and laid it down beside him, grabbed a white towel from a shelf and wiped his nub and then the rim of the prosthesis. A man known as Baby sat next to Gene’s leg.

They say the trick is to start exercising during the holidays. He rotates his ankle and wonders if his basketball sneakers would hold up on the pavement. He sticks out his bottom lip. He’s glad he has both legs. His eyes widen and he catches himself in a laugh. He didn’t mean it that way. Of course, he’s grateful. For that alone, he really should start jogging. He rotates his ankle again and looks out the window. If only it wasn’t so bloody cold.
