Snippet #1758513

Felix had just come upon the small town. Town wasn't really the correct term.... Road. That's better suited. As Felix road down the main, and probably only, road he could see clearly the entire strip. His Yellow Boy leaned against him and his hand firmly griped his Lemalt as he passed what appeared to be the Post office. Down the road he saw a saloon and he grimaced. He hated alcohol. It was a sinful drink that turned even the most respectable people despicable. As his horses began to slow more and more he decided it was time to stop for a while. Although this wasn't the biggest of the town's he had seen it was apparently the one fate had decided for him!

Felix drove his cart down until he came upon a young woman leaning on her door frame. The sign above her door said "The Surgery" and Felix smiled. Most would assume that the woman was the nurse or candy stripper but Felix wasn't most people. He could tell that she was so much more then that. He could see the sorrow in her eyes and the pressure that pushed down on her shoulders. It was obvious that she was the Doctor. If Felix's father were here he'd be outraged at this. "It's not their place!" he'd say. Felix on the other hand found it amazingly funny. All odd things were funny to Felix. That's just who he was.

"Hello Mam!" Felix said as he stopped his cart and jumped down to the ground. "What's the news in this area?" he asked as he slowly moved closer to her. "I am a medical man and I'd like to know i my services would be needed here in the near future?"
