It was sheer boredom that found Helen at the bookshelves before her clinic shift, trying to find something to bring along with her so that the hours would go by just a little more quickly. She loved being a doctor and loved practicing medicine, even in a place as relatively healthy as the island, and she would take a handful of patched elbows and ( Read more... )

Friday nights at the Winchester had very quickly become a part of George's routine. Because he'd apparently gone insane when he'd signed up for classes, it meant both Chinese and Japanese on the same day, which were difficult enough to learn without the possibility of accidentally mixing them up during class. In fact, he was still beating himself ( Read more... )

She closed her eyes for just a moment, wincing with pain as the doctor applied yet another bandage to stem the flow of blood from her throat. Rebecca's voice faded away, indistinguishable ( Read more... )

The past few days found Sonya spending her free time cleaning her hut. While the weather hadn't been so bad that her hut needed serious work,  the roof needed repairing and a lot of her stores of dried herbs had to be tossed out because of the damp. During that time, she made a note to try and find a drier way of storing them.
