Physician Heal Thyself
There were certain things you didnât want to hear from a doctor. âOopsâ was probably amongst the worst, as well as âuh ohâ or âoh noâ and Trent himself was not particularly fond of âI have made a mistake.â Which was not to say he didnât make mistakes, of course he did, but at least he didnât usually do something that hit that particular sour note.
Usually.
It was both a good thing that Trent hadnât been with anyone else - no one had seen his foolish misstep - and a bad thing - no one was there to help break his fall or help him up. Or so he thought.
Heâd gone down with a startled yelp, landing on hands and knees against the hard packed earth of the trail heâd been running on. He had no idea what heâd stumbled over, only that he had, and now his hands were burning and one knee ached. Not precisely in a âyou need to call someoneâ way, but most definitely in a âyouâre going to hate yourself the whole way homeâ way.
Trent grit his teeth, fingers curling in the dirt, and muttered a single, âOw.â
