《The Sleeping Paramedic》Full Moon
Advertisement
"Guys? I need your attention. It's full moon today. We will split up as we are going to be very busy tonight." Cap said.
"There's isn't any scientific proof that full moon is related to abnormal acts on the Earth..."
======================================
- 911 what's your emergency?
- Erm...there is a bottle of soda inside me... just... send an ambulance, please.
======================================
I looked at the bottle, and the caller, and the bottle without the cap.
"Just... Get on the ...stretcher, please." I said.
Please, kill me.
Michelle was trying very hard not to burst out laughing.
======================================
[Jackie] As you guys know, it's Full Moon today.
[Jacky] Some people, including most of the 118, believes that the moon affects human, for example, doing crazy acts, increased fertility rate and so on.
"That means we'll be very busy tonight. Michelle and Jack, you'll be flying solo tonight. Chim, you will be partnered up with Hen." Cap said.
======================================
- 911 what's your emergency?
- I'm calling from a Parenting Class, one of our students injured themselves on the stove
======================================
Jackie
Accidents happen, unfortunately. That's normal.
A soon-to-be dad was injured by falling dishes. Someone seems to have forgotten to stack the plates properly.
"No major injuries, just a broken arm, and cuts," I said.
"Ok. Let's go...."
Jacky
I think I heard someone screaming. 21:30
We turned our heads back...
"I...think my water broke."
======================================
"Ms, excuse me, I am taking a look... I'm checking for crowning. " Michelle said.
"Michelle, OB Kit," I said. "Gloves, and goggles."
"Thanks. Baby has crowned. The baby is coming out now. Jack, establish IV and give her oxygen." Michelle said.
"Miss? I... Is this the first time? Anything we should know?" I asked.

"She is a week away from her estimated due date. No special medical condition." The husband said." Her name is Ava."
"Ok. Ava, I want you to take a deep breath and..... push push push push!" I said.
"Stop Jack! Stop! Checking the cord!" Michelle said. "Jack, tell her to pant."
"Alright, Ava, take a deep breath and pant, like you had gone jogging."
"Ok..Ok...Ok..." Ava said and started panting.
"Ok. Continue to push Ava! Push!"
I think I heard someone screaming.
Wait. Ava isn't the one who screamed...
"I need help here! My wife is giving birth!"
"It's... my... second one...its....coming...."
"My baby.. is coming out....."
Shit. We have a Labor outbreak here.
"Dispatch... we...erm....got a situation here. Multiple pregnant women in active labor. Please send more ambulances." I said.
"Roger that, Rescue 118."
"Jack I need your help. You need to deliver Sophia's baby. I can't handle two at the same time." Michelle said.
"I...I never delivered a baby." I said.
"Jack, just follow me. It'll be fine. Trust me." Michelle said.
"ok...Ok.".
"Sophia? Alright. I'm helping you to deliver your baby. Is there anything that we should know? Like your medical history?"
"No...Baby's healthy."
"Ok. I'm...checking for crowning... Ok. Crowning confirmed."
"I'm pushing..."
"Oh... erm....oh... Hang on...Ok. Now push! Push, Sophie PUSH!"
"JACK? STOP AND CHECK THE INFANT'S NECK. If the cord is around the neck, untie it."
"Cord isn't around the neck...Push, Push, push!"
(Sophie Screams)
"It's out... It's..."
"Jack, Get the bulb syringe and suck any feces in the infant's mouth."
"Ok."
The baby started to cry!

"Clip the cord, and cut the cord. That's it!"
"Congratulations, it's a boy. It's my first one...."
======================================
ON THE RESCUE
"Alright. 1 hour until the end of the shift," I said.
"Yeah. Full Moon. It's intense right?" Michelle said.
"Yeah. I delivered my first baby!"
"Congrats, Jack. That's a great experience, holding a life in your hands."
======================================
This is probably the last one for today. If things had gone smoothly.
"LAFD Paramedic!" Michelle knocked on the door.
Someone opened the door.
"I...erm.... got into a fight."
"Oh. Where does it hurt?"
"My arms. I think they're broken."
"Ok. Get on the stretcher please."
We pushed the patient into the rescue. This is when things went south (of the border)
Before we can react, the patient jumped off the stretcher and closed the doors.
"What the fuck?" Michelle said and tapped my shoulders.
"Oh, shit SHIT HEY!" I shouted.
"Dispatch, Rescue 118. Our rescue got stolen by a patient, he is driving the rescue away!" Michelle said.
"Roger that."
A police car approached us.
"Oh, Athena!" Michelle said.
"Hello, Michelle and Jack." She said.
"Great timing Athena. Look - our rescue just got stolen by a patient." I said.
"Let me take you guys on a ride," Athena said.
"Thanks, Athena,"
======================================
"We are interrupting the normal news program to bring you a piece of breaking news. A man had taken LAPD Police cars on a wild chase on the streets of downtown on an LAFD Ambulance. Our reporter James Miller is now on our Helicopter for live footage..."
"We're on the news again. How lucky am I." I said.
"Nah it's the full moon. Anything can happen." Michelle said.
"I saw someone eating up someone before," Athena said.
"Oh my god," I said.
"This is a crazy world..." Michelle said.
A FEW MOMENTS LATER
"Your rescue should be nearby," Athena said.
"Yes! I saw it! It's right in front of us." Michelle said.
We heard multiple collisions. The suspect is ramming cars with our rescue.
"It's going to be a long night," I said.
Soon, we heard a loud crash. The rescue crashed into a tree.
"I hope he hadn't mess with the supplies..." I said.
"Whatever, if he had he will regret it," Michelle said.
We jumped off the police car and headed to the rescue.
======================================
Well, the man is not injured. But our rescue is...
"Yeah. It's beyond repair." The field mechanic said. "No worries, I will arrange a replacement."
"Thanks, Zach (The field mechanic)," Cap said.
"Full moon," I said.
"Full moon," Buck said.

Wander West, in Shadow
BOOK 1 COMPLETED A young wizard journeys west, through dark forests and dangerous lands, searching for something. Accompanied by a wild witch who has secrets of her own, they come across terrible creatures, hauntings, cursed villages, and memories from their past. Who else will they meet along their journey, and to find what he is looking for, how far will the wizard have to wander west? NOTE: The above synopsis is intentionally written to be as spoiler-free as possible. If you would like a more in-detail synopsis, one that contains minor spoilers, please check out the "Synopsis" chapter at the beginning of this fiction. If you read and enjoy, please leave a rating or review! FORMERLY TITLED: THE GLIMMERLING This story was formerly titled "The Glimmerling", because the first part was a short story of that title; it has since been expanded upon, thus the title change. Chapters 1-8 (30k words) are the first 'arc', if you want to get a feel for the story. To give some context on the setting: Magic is a bit weaker in this story than you might be used to, and we start off following some relatively new magic users. For some perspective, being able to light a campfire with magic is considered relatively advanced for someone who is the age of the main character. Magic can become very powerful - and there are some examples of powerful wizards within this story - but it's not where the main characters are yet. Part of the story is about following them as they learn more about magic. Enemies are also very dangerous, and running, hiding, or trying to talk their way out of a dangerous situation is often a better choice than fighting for the characters. While I have added tags for traumatizing content, sexuality, violence, swearing, etc. I try to avoid super-explicit descriptions of these things. But they are part of the story.

Wild Steam
Get on a train. Head east. Get on a ship. Travel further east, in style. See some wonders of the world. Find what was lost. Find where home is. How hard is any of that?Well, for Jake Ranger, pretty damned hard. The world being a wild, crazy mess from a global altering event called the Shattering doesn’t help much. Nor does being a famous folk hero. That last one really sucks, because people always run up to famous heroes and beg them for help with all their problems. Then there are the actual outlaws and monsters. They don’t help much either. Mostly they just get in the way and make everything way worse. And in a world that is so screwed up decades after the Shattering, there is a lot of variety to both outlaw and monster. Then there are the more civilized, (read: sane), non-human folk, and good old humans as well. They all get along just spectacularly. Totally best friends, on every level, for life. Of course getting to the east coast is only half the battle. Once there, he must contend with the so-called “civilized people.” Then there’s the ship ride; pirates and sea monsters are a thing too, after all. Should have read the brochure. But when the chips are down, the bad guys are winning and the wild winds of chaos are blowing, it helps to have a fighter on your side. Even if he is a little wild. After all, that’s not really a problem. That’s what beautiful women and lots of gold is for. Proper motivation is always key to success. Welcome to a Steampunk, Wild West, Victorian era, Lovecraftian infested, fantasy, shoot ‘em up world. Complete with a slow build harem of badass beautiful women, crazy adventures, and fun, monstrous villains. Welcome to the world of Wild Steam. Do enjoy your stay.
