    Summary

    "Sh." Ray cups Fraser's chin in his hand and rubs Fraser's lips with his thumb. "No talking." He doesn't know why he's so sure; he only knows that it's key that they don't talk about it.

    Summary

    “Also I’ve been flirting with you,” Dr. Abbot concludes, as the elevator finally arrives. The doors squeak slowly open with a tired ding! to reveal a puzzled OR nurse wheeling a guy in a gurney with his leg in a cast.

    Summary

    It is not true that jockeys don't feel pain. We do. We just don't talk about it, even when our skeletons are torn out; we don't feel the pain until people say something hurtful like "why aren't there any horses," and then we have to take all of that toughness and try not to break down and sob, because we are bastards and bastards don't cry, because if bastards start crying even a little bit then they just end up laying on the floor drinking their full bodyweight in brandy, empty, pitied; not having any horses at all, the horseless men of the horseless world.

    Instead I said, "because when I put the menaces on people it works strangely well, because I'm so much smaller than them, and it makes them go, oh, look, he's so little and menacing, Gladys, give him a biscuit."

    Then I thought about it some more and added, "And then I keep the biscuit."

    Or,

    An abridged retelling of the 1965 Dick Francis novel “Odds Against.”
