The golf ball affair
I saw Marcus today; his friend was helping him out of his dad's car. He looked remarkably well for someone who had been tuned up by a golf ball on a chain, he was unsteady on his feet and his hands were shaking a little but he was home and could begin the long road to recovery.
Quite how long that road would be I couldn't have imagined until I saw the side of his face that had been hidden from me as he got out of the car. There were multiple lacerations that contained more stitches than a New England bed quilt, and the bone structure had been extensively rearranged. Of course it's too early to tell if there will be lasting physical damage, but I'm sure this episode will scar him for years to come, he is after all a sensitive chap.
His friend who has obviously been upset by all this swears revenge, and keeps insisting that Marcus should let him take care of the retribution side of things, as he knows some people. Marcus just want's to forget it and get on with his thing, no point in complicating an already serious situation. Just forget it, he kept mumbling through swollen lips. I'll keep you posted.
