The Boy
I wake up to a thud and some form of growling outside. I'm in a daze and I rub my eyes as I look around "W...what was that....?" I go into my kitchen and grab a flashlight. " Did... that come from outside...? I hear another growl. I jump in fear. "What the hell??? That sounds like a wolf!!" I go over to the window and turn on the porch lights. I look around for anything. I see a boy?? On the porch and the snow around him is covered in thick red blood. I drop the flashlight and it hits the ground. I hear another growl. I'm shaking what should I do? Calm down... I think to myself." D...Deep breath Lynn... if there is a wolf out there... I'll need to help him." I head into the kitchen where my house phone was with shaking hands I deal 911, minutes that felt like hours finely someone picks up " h..hello? Um, there is a guy bleeding on my porch and-...." I was interrupted by the person." Mis' please calm down, you say a man is bleeding on your porch? Where do you live?" I take a deep breath " I'm on top of the hill... the only house up here" there was a small pause and then the woman spoke again" Mis' I'm so very sorry... but due to this horrible nightmare of a storm no one can reach you until spring... how are the wounds on the man? I can talk to you if you like." I sigh a little, " No... my father was a doctor I know what to do" I hang up the phone and got the first aid and my flashlight. I head to the door and open it I kneel down in front of this guy, up close to him he looks about my age with strawberry blond hair that was somewhat stand with blood, he had pants on that had been torn and no shirt. He was still breathing, I sigh in relief and turn on the flashlight to see his wounds a little better. I could see gashes where all over his back and arms. I didn't see anything deep on his back that would need stitches. I shake him a little "sir..?" No response. I think to myself... how am I going to get him in the house? I look around and think. " light bald!" I run inside and grab a blanket and come back I lay the blanket right beside him and tried to roll him on to it. "Why are you so heavy?" I finally get him on the blanket. I look at his stomach there was only one huge gash across his chest all the way to his stomach. I felt my eyes widen, I look at his face " what happened to you?..." I drag him inside with the blanket. I pant a little as I wipe away sweat from my forehead. " Now to fix you up," I say to the sleeping man. I go to the kitchen and clean my hands, I use my dad's rubber gloves and got his medical supplies he left in his study. I come back and cleaned up the wound and added numbing so this wouldn't hurt him. I slowly started stitching his chest up. I get done and cleaned up everything. " Well, that toke a while. Hopefully, that helps... I can't help but wonder what happened to you?" I talk to the sleeping man which just moved his head a little. " Well, all those doctor lessons really paid off." I talk to myself for comfort, as I got some blanket and covered up the guy as much as I could. I didn't think I would be sleeping any time soon so I got to the kitchen and get a cup of tea as I come back into the living room and sit on one of the couches and put a blanket over my lap I pick up a book and read for a little. After a couple of hours, I set my cup on the coffee table. I try to fight sleep as slowly close my eyes and fall asleep snuggled up to the blanket.
