Description:
#Audio. #ShortShort A challenge to write a story about birth.
Excerpt:
“Am I being kidnapped?” he asks, only half-kidding.
“Nope. Rescued.”
The corpsman is the size of a linebacker, black, with dark eyes that are difficult to read. His looks make him more likely to be on a football field or at the door of a disreputable bar than in a military hospital. But Miller feels like the bigger man can be trusted.
“Thought I already was.”
“Rescue,” the corpsman says, “is an ongoing process.”
