The Amputation Proclamation

Welcome to tonight’s reading, Dear Guests! We believe you’ll find the subject to be quite disarming… Granted the topic is a daunting one, but we are not defeated…

We’re determined to single-handedly tell you everything about… amputations. We promise not to cut anything short. So, get yourself together and join us in The Reading Room for, The Amputation Proclamation
