Get your equipment picked up and stowed, then gather round, the instructor told us. My patient sat up with a grunt and winked at me. Time! Our head instructor rose from where she’d been squatting next to one of the groups.
Around us, I heard the moans and bustle of other casualties being treated, but I shut that out to focus on this man, keeping my hands steady despite the pounding of my pulse.ĭingggg! A bell rang.

I also have a few Young Adult stories (some released under the pen name Kira Harp.)My husband finally convinced me that after all the years of writing for fun, I really should submit something, somewhere.
“Kaje” is pronounced just like “cage” – it’s an old nickname, and my pronouns are she/her/hers.I was born in Montreal but I've lived for 30 years in Minnesota, where the two seasons are Snow-removal and Road-repair, where the mosquito is the state bird, and where winter can be breathtakingly beautiful.
