Donorcycle

I have twin brothers, or, rather, brothers who are twins. One of them wrecked his motorcycle today. I don't have the whole story but I believe it involves a wheelie. At speed. He was thrown across the road a good distance and so is essentially human hamburger now. He's generally ok, nothing broken, but his entire upper body is wrapped in bandages. From his hands, the palms being essentially skinless now, up to his shoulders. He's the Human Scab now. His sides are scraped and gouged. His fingers are swollen with blisters. He's walking around like The Mummy, stiff-armed.

At least he had on his helmet.
