Words today & yesterday: 2163
Words total: 14,543
Tyop: "How is he?" / "Alice. For the moment."
Darling: "I’ll begin a batch of bread mold—that and prayer are your options now."
Mean things: Cracked rib, hemothorax, and a very crude tube thoracostomy. And of course the remaining blood left inside his chest, which may or may not turn septic.
It was touch and go for a bit--giving someone a hemothorax is one thing; describing the treatment of it is something else. I finally settled for some gore and handwaving. Tomorrow the characters will convene for a fact-finding mission to discover the plot.
