Plots of an Interesting Nature

I’ll admit that I prefer fine arts to writing any day, its just far to much fun to doodle in my sketch books when I should be writing that five page essay. However, when I am left to my own devices I tend to imagine little stories and plot lines that run helter skelter through my mind. So, for my weekly blogs I’ve decided to write small short stories. Will they make absolute sense? No, they probably will not. But I like it better that way.

So, here we go.

Isaac wasn’t use to battle, he was actually use to asking children if they needed a lollypop and taking appointment dates from patients. He had never actually worked on another human, nor had he managed to dissect any animals in grad school. In fact, Isaac was told by his professor that he should just give up, that he was a lost cause and many other discouraging things that made him sink into his chair.

It wasn’t for lack of trying. Oh no, Isaac was nothing if not determined. Mind you, graduation had taken him twice as long to get to than his peers. But who was counting? He had his degree in hand and a whole world to visit. Sadly, that world just had to be at war and he was dragged away to “do his part” with much horror followed by denial.

You see, Isaac had one tiny problem. He had a bad case of hemophobia.
