It was, to any eye, an odd threesome; the two patients and their therapist. Bill Susman sat and glowered at his pathetic luck in life. He realized that he was a touch too slick and not quite handsome enough. He was just a middle-aged insurance salesman in the waning days of his ability to stand [...]
