In loving memory of Joe... Wait, he's still alive... isn't he?

Because of the state of existence that Joe is in, because of his extensive injuries, Joe is not able to do the things that most people don't think twice about. He is not able to walk, hold, stand, see, hear, smell, and many other feelings that able-bodied individuals are able to. What hurts the most to Joe, is the fact that it is near impossible to communicate with other people. This, in combination with his thoughts and memories (especially the one concerning the fishing trip he and his father took), makes him feel desperately lonely. He wants to be able to communicate with people so as not to be forgotten.
