The Good Doctor's Tales Folio Five - Plot & Excerpts
Four men rode in the back of the truck with me, laden with weaponry and stinking of fear and aggression. I lay flat on a steel slab, three feet wide, six feet long, and an inch thick, set with heavy rings and with wide holes drilled around the edges. Wide metal bands held me around my chest and waist and hips. Another steel band went around my head, and a thinner one across my neck. More bands immobilized my non-responsive legs. Chains held my shackles tightly to the steel stretcher, and they had placed more chains on my arms and legs. Someone had put a lot of thought into this. I couldn’t move at all. I lay shackled in misery. The burn kept up until my wounds healed enough for me to live. After the burn faded away, I became naked to my pain. A sea of molten iron washed through me in waves, eating at my mind like the tide ate at the shore. I tried to stay unconscious, but I couldn’t. My instincts kept waking me. Danger, constant danger! I had been lucky in the capture, if you can call it luck.
