#mortally wounded

[blondebrainpowered]

Queenie in training to become a Mercy dog during WW1. The dogs went out after large battles, where they would seek out wounded soldiers, they carried first-aid supplies that could then be used by wounded soldiers, and comforted dying soldiers who were mortally wounded.

Historians estimate that between 10,000 and 20,000 military dogs died during the First World War, although precise records do not survive. Germany alone reported approximately 7,000 canine losses.

Imagine;

Whumpee is mortally wounded and left to die from both their wounds and from the frigid winter night, caretaker stumbles upon the whumpee; who is out of it from bloodloss at this point. The caretaker takes it upon themselves to pick up the whumpee and carry them off to somewhere safe.....

It took a lot of time, but the whumpee awoke. They were woozy as they just started to regain consciousness, groaning at the pain from their injuries. The whumpee tried sitting up, but they were too weak, their wounded body fell against the pillows as they winced.

The whumpee noticed the clean bandages wrapped around their abdomen and the bandages wrapping many other injuries. Soon, they felt a hand against their shoulder, and a voice spoke...

"Please, save your strength, you just woke up..." the voice spoke.

Whumpee wearily blinked as they turned their head to face who was speaking.

It was a random person.

"How long was I out for?" Whumpee rasped.

Their new caretaker responded; "about a week or so."

The whumpee still felt the exhaustion as it crept up their mind.

"Rest up sir, you are safe here" the stranger said.

And like that, the whumpee fell back into slumber, sinking underneath the warmth that was encompassing them.

During WW1, many dogs were trained as 'casualty' or 'mercy' dogs. They would seek out the injured and carry them medical supplies, or wait with the mortally wounded. – WTF Fun Facts

Last Dance

Somehow I survived the crash.

Though, I have been mortally wounded.

The effects have yet to reach me.

-

I feel bitter, adrift, and dazed.

I know I need to stay on the move, but

I do not know what to do.

-

It feels like I am living on borrowed time, so

I need to take every second I am granted

to give you something you have never seen.

-

I know you have been waiting for me.

I will not try to escape my fate.

Just sit back and watch patiently.

-

I need time to get the choreography down.

I want my last dance to be perfect. 

I will not make you settle for lesser.

-

All I need from you is your attention, and

I will make sure it is worth it in the end.

Spare me the time to put on my final show.

{This was inspired by the music video ‘Lorn - Acid Rain’ and the concept depicted in it}

Challenge #04132-K114: Injured Ascendant

They were very sick, their body broken in ways that would never be able to recover by conventional means. Their family scraped together what funds they had to send them to the B'Nari, hearing they would help the poor and desperate for free. But the person was afraid.

"Will it... will it really be.. me? Or will I be dead and that... that body live on just thinking it's me? I don't want to die." -- Anon Guest

"You fear for your soul," said Medik-Counsellor Splint. "That's understandable. Those who believe in souls much prefer a new cerebral habitat. We can either clone your body without a brain and install yours inside, or create an artificial brain support system to your personal specifications. The procedure is... well, many consider it unnerving."

Human Oyt could not speak. With the help of an eye-tracker, they typed out, "I won't die?"

"We have very sophisticated brain support systems," soothed Splint. "A good half of them are keeping you alive right now. Don't worry, they're also maintaining your body as well. You have plenty of time to decide your fate."

I heard a ball strike his horse, as I thought. But on looking, I saw no flesh wound upon his horse, but discovered the blood dripping the heel of the General's boot.
