Back when I was in college, there was this one student who was confined to a wheelchair. Brown hair, baby face, reddish complexion. Had a non-motorized wheelchair, so he had to wheel himself all over campus.

I don't recall having any significant dealings with him, but he seemed like a nice enough person, most of the time. He'd never let anyone push him, and sometimes he'd get angry if you held a door open for him.

Anyway, sometimes you'd see him wheeling himself across campus carrying a boom box in his lap. The stereo was playing some generic action movie soundtrack. He was pushing the chair just as hard and as fast as it would go, and you could tell, by the look in his eyes, that he was imagining himself as the hero of a TV movie that would never get filmed. Overcoming all obstacles despite his handicap, earning the respect of everyone he knew, getting the girl.

Nothing wrong with the fantasy -- most of us indulge in that kind of daydreaming -- but playing it out in public...?
