I'd come from a family of great wealth and therefore never had to set up my own practice or accept payment in exchange for medical care. I'd studied under the greatest doctors in America and London before taking my current position. I paid the people I worked with little attention except...

The very first thing I did when I was able to struggle, bowlegged and fully satisfied, out of the bed in the morning was to thumb through the Wallace case folder until I found the number I wanted and called the Loudon County medical examiner. He gave me an appointment for 10:00 that morning and told me the procedure would take an hour or so. He assured me th...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Edited by: Tangent Joker ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Will it hurt?" Antonio tilted his head to look up into Parker's brown eyes.

He put the phone back in his pants pocket and looked around the quaint lobby—a couple abstract geometric paintings hung on the walls, a magazine rack, some medical posters encourag...
Tony opened the front door of his parent house to find Dan, his dad's study buddy and now occasionally visiting mate. Tony's parents where away on holiday again, so he was house sitting.

"Jacob cannot keep to his post-mortem arrangements. Huh! Humbug!" But seconds later, another brilliant light emerged again to the side of his bed. This was a more commanding presence than the previous ghos...

Diego stepped through the automatic doors of Rain Down Temple; what passed for a holistic temple in rural North Dakota. He leaned on his cane, the pain in his back was always worse after a long drive. As he looked around he noticed the retail space was primarily a marijuana dispensary. For a Catholic man in his late forties, it was not a place he ever though...
