Wow! This story was intense and I could feel how desperate everyone was. My heart was racing and I couldn't read it fast enough. Your poor brother! Thank goodness he finally had a doctor that would at least try to save his life and thank goodness he pulled through. It makes me wonder if Albert the doctor pulled through, would he be a better doctor because of his own experience. A very well written story @agmoore! : )
Thank you!! I kept cutting the story to increase the pace. A good teacher (several) taught me to cut the deadwood... I guess it works.
It was a horrible time, but my brother came back with a vengeance. He has lived his life with a kind of enthusiasm that's hard to match.
To me, Albert is almost real. When I create a character it feels that way. Yes, I think he survived and became a much better doctor.
Happy Thanksgiving !
Cutting the deadwood is much easier said than done, but you did it well. I am so happy that your brother lived and thrived. : )
