On a remote, desolate Scottish hillside, a climber lays trapped under a boulder. A simple decision to turn left rather than right has devastating consequences for the rest of her life. On her journey of recovery, she makes the most unbearably tough decision and can only carry on as her mind shatters like glass inside her.
But in the midst of tragedy, there is still life to continue and with it just a touch of the darkest humour. Brutally honest and undeniable compelling, this story will take you from the depths of ketamine-holes and the heights of helicopter rescues - a story that follows the inner-workings of the NHS from a patient's point of view and one woman's struggle to get back all she has lost.
This is the blurred line between being lucky and being unlucky. This is my story.
Almost all of this story was written contemporary to the time the events occurred. I haven't gone back to read or edit them and I'm not sure I intend to. I'm not sure I could ever build up the courage to read them again and so these chapters are somewhat like a diary from the time - perhaps some of them make sense, perhaps some of them don't. In either case, I hope you enjoy!

HOOK
According to a story from the far reaches of the East, a man was walking alone at night along a steep path near a mountain peak. The sky was covered with thick clouds. It was pitch black. Suddenly, he stumbled, lost his footing and fell into the void. Instinctively, he reached out his hand and managed to grab onto a thick branch that extended out from the edge of the cliff. He called for help, but the only response was his own voice echoing through the ravine. There was no one there to hear him. A few hours later, he felt his strength abandoning him. His anguish grew. When he could hold on no more, the first light of dawn began to dissolve the dense darkness. He looked down and laughed as he saw that just a few inches below his feet, there was a large, flat rock. He could have let go of the branch at any time during the night and stood on it. But he would have done so without knowing. Without being certain. By overcoming every fear, real or imagined...Complete

Apocalypse: The Healer's Story
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to wake up in a body that wasn't yours? I can't say that I had ever given it much thought. That was until one night when a patient entered the ER where I was working at and shot me point blank in the head. You know, if he wanted a second opinion, all he had to do was ask. But that's besides the point... Some how, some way, I work up in a strange hospital with a woman that looked suspiciously like my mother holding my hand and crying. Over joyed to see her, it took me a few minutes to realize that I was no longer the 25 year old, successful doctor at one of the most prestigious hospitals in the world. Nope, I was a much, much younger... You might know me as the Healer, but this is my story to tell. WARNING!!! This will turn into a reverse harem where she does not have to pick. Mature Content, Trauma, and Vulgar Language on Board. PS. You don't need to read "Apocalypse: Third Rebirth" to understand this story. But still recommended to read it 1st, before this. For those who already read it... The "Ranch" you all looking for in that story will be explain here. Enjoy!Complete
