Oh, and dont I look young in that picture? That is me and my nephew taken some time before my 8th birthday.
This short story has been doing the rounds in my head for quite some time, so I thought it was time it saw the light of day.
Originally, this was the inspiration for a D&D campaign I was running. Unfortunately, the group didn't last. The story of The Already Dead, however, continues.
You can read this short story on Wattpad.
When I was young, I was involved in a serious, life-threatening accident. It is all thanks to the NHS that I am still here. This short story is the story of that accident and the immediate fall out from it. This accident has largely shaped how my life has gone since it happened.
When I wrote this, I was unable to read it back as it brought back many hard memories.

Born in 51BC, Professor James Scott Hamlin is about to quit his job that he has held since the late 1990s.
Across Europe, someone is killing Hamlin's friends and relatives.
My prompt for the story was:
44. 'The year was 27 B.C when you helped an individual escape their imprisonment. Before parting ways, they asked you to make a blood oath. Once done, they told you that as long as they lived, you would too. Nearly 2000 years have passed since and you continue to search for them each and every day.'
After a serious accident (see My Brother, My Nephew) when I was a child, I was beset by an awful recurring nightmare. This affected many things and in the end I was helped to control my nightmare.
I've had this nightmare many times over the years, but now I am able to manage it and "escape" when I need to.
I wrote this story as a fictionalised version of the nightmare - with a small amount of grounding in what really happened.
