Church Call



As he was wiping away the blood, the physician looked at the monk.

“So where did this traveller come from again?”

“We believe he wandered in from the village before falling into the new well.”

“I doubt he was from the village, he speaks something akin to Britannic, I believe. Certainly his insistence on washing my hands was clear, and his attempts to put my tools into hot water, obvious signs of insanity. Demands for mouldy bread just prove it conclusively. Still, the leg is amputated, it is in God’s hands now.”

While the aluminium was in the doctor’s bag.
