Click-clack sounds emitted from the typewriter. Hector Vergara rolled the piece of paper into place. Up to this point, he had been an ableist acting as someone with a disability.

It was like constant kettle drum percussion. Tap, tap, tap. He felt the words pouring from him. His memoir had to be either typed on a manual typewriter or spoken into via a microphone and a computer. WIth his choice of the former, he was like a yellow stop sign. He had the hexagonal shape and the Highway Gothic letters but lacked the most important aspect: the color red. Fully able to do virtually any task, he demanded of himself to be weighed down by the burden of not being completely sufficient in any endeavor.
