Dr. Carter

For the first time in his career, Dr Carter had to tell a patient that she was going to die.

However, he felt well prepared.

The interns had completed numerous role plays in readiness, with the mentor commenting that Carter was the best.

Remembering this, he entered the room smiling.

El Aserradero

Initially, the journey was merely cramped and uncomfortable.

Now, things were rapidly going downhill.

Rain was beating down and their vessel seemed to be leaking.

“Look out!” warned one of the adventurers.

They plummeted, taking onboard yet more water.

Drenched, she commented, “Who suggested the log flume in this weather?!”

Get used to it, Frank.

From the second it left his foot, Frank knew it was in.

The net rippled, and the nearby fans were bouncing and screaming in ecstasy.

He looked towards them, putting his hands on his hips and bowing his head.

It was the first own goal that he had ever scored.

The Hereafter

The twins were having a deep conversation.

“Do you think there is life afterwards?”

“There has to be,” came the reply. “There just must be something more.”

They continued to exist, side by side, until the fateful day came;

The day they were born.

So there was life after birth!

"For bet than never is late"

He knew that the birthday message he was sending was extremely late.

He had considered not posting it at all, but recalled that he had made a promise.

“A late message is better than no message at all,” he concluded, before clicking the ‘publish post’ button...

Happy Birthday 2010, Rebecca!
