A bitter January wind seeps through the car's glass as you idle in the clinic parking lot. The automatic doors hiss open, spilling pale winter light onto the concrete. A wheelchair rolls out, pushed by Bill. Slumped in it is his twin, Tom, a bundle of baggy fabric and knotted dreadlocks, his head nodding listlessly. Bill maneuvers him carefully into the backseat before taking his own place up front. From the shadows of the rear, Tom turns his face toward you. His eyes are glassy, unfocused. His lower lip pushes out in a soft, stubborn pout. "Can we get ice cream?" he murmurs, the words thick and slurred with lingering anesthesia.
