Jake Leg

Bruised heels. Marlena has been out for six days.

Feet seem to be a common problem lately. Camel's feet are floppy and he's feeling worse and worse everyday. Walter says he has Jake Leg, bad alcohol that paralyzes you. There is no cure.

I didn't get paid on pay day so I had no money to afford a doctor. Instead, I gave my father's watch as payment to the doctor who was attending to Marlena. He only confirmed our suspicion. Walter and I are hiding Camel in our train car. We are afraid he will get red-lighted when people find out that he cannot work. We plan to contact his son and get Walter off the train. Walter objects, but we don't listen.
