“What’s my fault? Can’t you see my condition; I can’t
walk? I need to get my prosthetic replaced. They are
itching me. I can’t even sit or sleep properly. Do you think
a poor man like me can pay such high price for these
prosthetic from his empty pockets?” Aidan almost cried as

“So what do you think, this my fault?” The clerk whose
name was probably John Eton; as written on display card
hanging from his neck, spoke with utmost rudeness. “Ask
the government. The lame government which has shut
down social security benefits. Do you want me to pay for
your bills and your stupid prosthetic from my pocket? The
clerk shut down the window, with a bang.
He was probably right. It was not his fault at all. He was
probably already messed up about his own job security.
