Chapter 7

They had to take care of me anyhow, or at least, save my life and then worry about the rest later. Of course, I didn’t know that at the time, but found it out later. Luckily—ha—I’d lost a lot of blood and a couple of bites had been so deep they had to worry about (lawsuits if I died) infection or later surgeries. They couldn’t claim to be a private hospital and have me taken to the county one because they were the only one. Period. Besides, I was messing up their floor with all the blood and stuff, and I was, after all, a hero. I found out later that the parents of one of the girls had brought her in later for a bad scrape from slipping while in the tree, so there was confirmation about what a great guy I was. Woo hoo.
