Maybe he wouldn’t have been in the hospital if he hadn’t brought the gun with him. 


Maybe he would have still been married. Maybe Jessica wouldn’t have left him.

Maybe, maybe, maybe.

Mike’s current state had left him with a lot of time to contemplate the many maybes that had filled his life.

Maybe if he hadn’t been kept a dirty secret from her whole family he wouldn’t be paralyzed. But that was the one thing -- the only thing -- in his mind, in his life that he couldn’t blame himself for.

He would have still been a secret. She would have still been ashamed of him.

And that hurt him more than the gunshot had.

At least now he’d been noticed.
