Post-Apocalyptic Short Story Featuring Disabled Character? Sure, No Problem

For the third story in my 51 Bad Short Story challenge - something different. Why not respond to a call for a specific type of story for an anthology that's been crowd-sourced and will pay writers for stories included? Given my penchant for the Apocalypse, this one seems a fun challenge. There's one deviation from my previously stated rules, though. This publisher says no simultaneous submissions, so this one won't go out to 20 markets right away.

The requirement is to write a 3,000-7,000 word short story featuring a post-apocalyptic world that includes a disabled character making his or her way through the crisis. Game on!

Interested in joining the fun? Here are the details:
