The world is a blazing hot orange furnace, a place where the air hums with so much heat that it is a constant struggle to survive. Yet there he stood steady with crutches on both arms and braces upon his feet to help him navigate through a brand new world that suddenly was no longer familiar. A place that held many new obstacles. How did he get here? The answer didn’t really matter; he was now here in a new form of body and mind. Life is difficult for the able-bodied folks, but for a person of different ability, it is a much, much more dangerous and daunting deal. Having a big heart and grit helps, but sometimes it takes more than that. It takes help from above. No, not the regular guardian angels, but guardian angels that are unafraid to get their hands a little dirty in order to watch over folks like him. Guardian Angels who protect the hard-to-protect. Guardian Angels who handle the heavy lifting. Guardian Angels that wear hard hats.
