This is a short story about a woman who agrees to host a young Special Olympian for the weekend.  Only a small part of the story is about her interactions with the Olympian, most of the story is dedicated to the woman's self-pity and dread of the upcoming visit.  Her pity is laid on pretty thick (most of her internal monologues are like "Why me?  Why I am in this wheelchair?") and I found myself struggling to get through it.However, for those looking for a sweet ending (albeit, one that feels a bit tacked on given how unpleasant the main character is) may enjoy.
