The Accident
By
Silke Dettmers
1996
This actually happened: The sound of her shoes on the spokes of her mother's bicycle was mesmerizing; and it was all hers!
And then her foot got stuck.
The doctors had to change the cast three times. Before the accident, she had just learned to walk, and now nothing could stop her. In every photo from that time, she's crying.
