At My Brother's Housewarming, He Shoved Me Down the Steps "As a Joke"—Knowing My Back Was Fractured… "The stories YouTube demonetized are now collected in one place" https://marykate00.gumroad.com/l/kmpdrk My name is Marcus. I am thirty-four years old. I have a compression fracture at L3, diagnosed eleven months before my brother's housewarming, the result of a car accident on the interstate that was not my fault and was not small. A sedan ran a red light at forty-seven miles per hour. My car absorbed most of it on the driver's side. I spent four days in the hospital and eight weeks in a back brace and seven months in physical therapy with a woman named Renata who moved through the world with the calm certainty of someone who has seen the body fail and recover so many times that neither surprises her anymore. I had told my brother, Darnell, about the fracture the week after the accident. I told him on the phone, specifically, because he had called to ask why I had missed a family dinner. I explained the accident, the fracture, the hospital stay, the brace. He said *man, that's rough.* He asked if I needed anything. I said I was covered. He said to let him know. #revenge #revengestories #familydramas
