I kindly waved a red headed man farewell as he walked away from my home clinic. Another client with a new pep in his step and a few flowers embedded in his hair. I closed my door and sat at my study table. Looking at all of these illnesses and diseases is somewhat overwhelming in a large perspective. But when broken down to the basics, it is quite simple! It’s been almost 14 years since I’d begun ...
Dear diary.
It is sun cycle 132 of the year.
Today I found out my healing spells have killed the people I thought I was saving. The way I found this out was while I was on my normal check up path I was over hearing a patient of mine I have been working with has sadly passed in her sleep. I have no idea of how this happened. Normally my skills are unmatched and I have saved many lives before but...
Why is it that when you want to do the right thing something always has to go wrong? Almost like the universe purposely rigged everything against you either to give you false hope that things will turn out alright or to just straight up say “fuck you lol” and leave you with the consequences.
Well that’s what this feels like, having the power to heal others thinking your a hero and helped people in...
In the heart of a bustling city, where skyscrapers towered over narrow streets and the pulse of life echoed through every corner, there lived a man named Elias. Elias possessed a gift, one that he believed was a blessing from the heavens above – the gift of healing. People from all walks of life sought him out, desperate for relief from their ailments and afflictions.
Elias was a humble soul, wit...
The air was stagnant and warm.
The sky was clear and blue.
The sun was shining coldly down on the pavement.
It was too quiet. Too still.
There was no wind.
There were no birds chirping.
No people talking and walking around the town, where there usually was a large crowd.
There didn’t seem to be any living being in sight.
There were no living people in sight. But there were people all th...
“Milk thistle, please Harra.” I watch as she rustles through the medicine bag. “The side pocket, Harra, just there.” I point from across the room, warming a tea pot in the hearth. “Yes, that’s it. Bring it here please. Thank you.” Uncorking the vial, I find myself overwhelmingly thankful that there are leaves left. Just enough for a single brew. Even so, it’s just another reminder of our dwindling...
I smiled at my newest patient. She smiled back. We exchanged our thanks and she left. Suddenly another person barged in, without warning. I recognized her as a patient’s sister from 4 years ago. I mean, she hadn’t really changed. At all.
“You! Do you even realize what you did to my brother!? He’s dying!” She yelled.
“What? If he is, I can try to help hi-.”
“No! You’re only gonna make everythin...
I gasp. She looked so much worse than she did a couple days ago. I quickly inserted an iv and found some blood on my hands. The blood turned white as soon as it touched my hands.
“I’m sorry, I’m so sorry,” I muttered to her unconscious body.
I turned to double up my gloves, hoping it might stop whatever was happening.
I couldn’t believe what was happening. I couldn’t believe I had actually killed ...
Magic, often portrayed as a force for good, possesses the allure of healing and benevolence. In a world where enchantments are woven with good intentions, a sorcerer discovers a dark secret lurking beneath the surface of their seemingly altruistic spells. What was once believed to bring healing and relief has, over time, unveiled its unintended consequences—a slow, insidious decay rather than the ...
