cash

a meat packer in southern california lost both an arm and a leg in a weird industrial accident. doctors were able to save the limbs, but at a cost. without sufficient medical insurance the man's family resorted to extreme measures. they donated kidneys and lungs for transplant, and with the cash they raised, helped the man back to health. a year later, almost fully recovered, the man would discover that he had won the lottery. he hid the money from his family and built a subterranean house in the desert near santa fe, where he would live with a 16 year old girl who looked like frida kahlo with a glass eye.
