Day 16 - Plot 2

I think the next thread will be one involving his job. At the beginning he has one job in mind, but that doesn't turn out so well because of his accident. He needs a new job after that.

Beginning: Steven Right is planning on starting a business with his friend and personal trainer, just like him. The guy I called a boss in the character descriptions. The business is a gym with weights and whatnot, where they have some great idea on how to get people to join and get real results out of them, instead of a place like Bally's that just takes your money. Something like Curves. They are having some troubles with it, but find ways to work around the problems for now.

Next: Steven Right has a horrible accident which ruins his physique, because of the months spent in the hospital where his muscles wasted away. To make matters worse, when he has permanent injuries that make working out very difficult, because he needs prosthetics if he doesn't want to be stuck in a wheel chair, and he only has one good hand, and it isn't even the one he writes with. To make matters even worse, he is seriously depressed when he leaves the hospital. The business has collapsed because his partner is left in the lurch. His partner is going to wait on him, until he sees how seriously depressed Steven is. Steven is in no shape to start a new business, so the guy decides to start a business on his own without Steven. He steals the idea for the business, however, just changing it a bit to avoid any legal trouble.

Third: Steven is seriously hurting for money. He didn't have any insurance, or enough anyway, and has to pay most of the medical bills out of pocket, and he doesn't have enough to cover it. When he begins working for the teacher, it doesn't pay any money. So Steven tries to get away with just a tiny amount of sleep and working at some fast food place to make ends meet.

Fourth: Something happens at his place of work and he ends up fired. (from another thread?) His lack of sleep and depression don't help.

Fifth: He gets a rather unusual job with the dragon. It doesn't pay regular money, but it has its benefits.
