That's Mudd's rig, on its side in a field in West Virginia.
The windshield is broken because first responders had to cut him free.

He's not okay. He walked away from it, sure, but an X-Ray shows compression fractures in his back. 12% of rollovers kill the driver. While roll-overs account for about 4% of accidents, they cause 58% of driver fatalities.


Luck, God or whoever was on our side.
He lived.
He has cracked vertebra, but he is not paralyzed.
I am worried, but not widowed.

Blurb:
Corporate retreats are dull at best, but when Carla is sent on one as a punitive measure, she isn't expecting anything to come of it, except a pink slip.

High in the Ozark mountains, nothing is quite as it seems and reality skews in interesting ways. The conference is too elementary and Carla notices people starting to go missing.

Update

Mudd is home. He's moving slowly and gingerly.
He's not hurting, more just uncomfortable and anticipating pain.

He's taken up residence in the recliner.

No word on what doctor he needs to see yet.

I work tomorrow, and as always, there will be no updates.
