End Of Days (Penryn And The End Of Day #3) - Plot & Excerpts
Doc got high priority because he’s the only other doctor in camp. They let one of the twins into the back with him while the other took off on an errand. I was told to wait with the others in the waiting room. There is only one candle for the entire room even though the windows are blocked off by blankets. There’s something particularly unnerving about being in a room that’s more shadow than light and hearing people around you coughing and whispering. The door opens, and Dee’s bottle-blond head peeks in. ‘What’s the verdict?’ I ask. ‘Is it broken?’ ‘Badly,’ says Dee as he walks in. ‘It’ll probably be six weeks before he can start to use his arm again.’ Six weeks. My stomach feels like I swallowed lead weights. ‘Could he instruct the other doctor during surgery? You know, to work as his hands?’ ‘She’s not a surgeon. Besides, no one wants to be known as Doc’s minion. Bad for your health, you know.’ ‘Yeah, I noticed.’ I chew on my lip as I think.
