This is a lovely story. Instead of straining to combine the three prompt words, you weave a tale of love, devotion and kindness. The one thing the boy feared. the wheelbarrow man, actually became his salvation. Because of his willingness to take a risk for Max, Toby was freed from the illness that threatened his own life.

You show great writing skill here, @cajiro. We conclude reading the story with strong emotion. Thank you for sharing this with us.
