The Good Doctor's Tales Folio One

The Good Doctor’s Tales (Folio One) is a novella-length collection of additional material supplementary to the novel “Once We Were Human”.“Do you know who I am?” the hugely muscled taxi driver said, squatting over Hank and twisting him around to face her. He met the eyes of the predator and forced down panic. The driver wore a loose fitting long sleeve checked shirt, dirty brown pants, and stood but five feet tall.“Stacy Keaton,” Hank said. Despite appearances she was a woman, an extremely dangerous woman he would have given nearly anything in his life to meet…under much more controlled circumstances.She backhanded him again, this time breaking his nose.

With the problems I’ve had trying to keep failed Focuses alive, I was sure they were mistaken and you were a Sport, one of the one-of-a-kind Major Tra…”She slapped him again. “Shut up, dammit! I don’t want to have to kill you, you sodden piece of scum. I want your help, but I don’t want you yammering away at me.”The banter was fun, in its own fatalistic way.
