The Best We Could

I did my best. I used sheets as bandages and whiskey for medical alcohol. There are no clinics or doctors in our town, only me. I studied nursing for a few years. Oh, and that salesman who was stranded in town, Nasir. He was surprisingly good at setting fractures and stopping bleeding. I'm starting to wonder if he really is a travelling salesman, like he claims. Maybe he's really an arms dealer? Anyway, between us, we saved a couple of lives. As for those who were beyond saving, we made sure they spent their last moment in peace. I hope Mr. Blanken has fixed the ship. As soon as the Fishbone can float, we can move all the wounded on board and prepare for evacuation. We know it's a gamble, but if we don't do it, we will all die here.
