The bathroom bulb stutters, painting the cracked tiles in a jaundiced light. Steam rises from the basin where you stand, my spouse, your fingers unsteady around the spoon. I am anchored in this wheelchair, the metal biting cold through my clothes, my legs a silent betrayal. The scent of broth hangs thick, souring my gut. "Keep that away from me," I snarl, swatting the spoon from your grip. you, why do you persist in this charade?
