Full of Self-Esteem
A fresh doctor must face his first surgery.
A new black doctor named Taliko Kostner arrived on the floor. He had to keep his eyes focused on the phone in his hand. He sent a message to his boss.
“You’ve got this,” she said.
He smirked. He then put away his phone and washed up his hands and forearms. The soap and water reassured him as well. As his first surgery he had felt jittery and even anxious. In his mind he had a bank account full of self-esteem but he still struggled with writing the check of confidence. In the operating room, he knew what to do.

The Spring
The sun was high when Lance pulled off the road and into the dusty lot of the service station. The sign back at the hairpin--the first sign in a long time--said they just rolled into Hatter’s Creek, Population 63. It was small enough it didn’t appear on the handmap in Shelby’s lap, yet here it stood, the first backwater township on the fringes of the National Park. The plan was to gas up, restock the snack bag, and press on into the wilderness.
