The Patient on Windhaven Lane
Kendra faces the unknown in her patient, Mr. Brooks

A/N - I would like to present my offering for the
Halloween 2024
story event. This story idea, like others, came to me while enjoying my favorite morning ritual, a cup of coffee. Here is my take on a little seasonal fun for
Halloween 2024.
Though this story is posted to the Erotic Horror category, this story does lean towards the lesbian sex and Sapphic relationship. A
warning
to some of my followers, this story does involve one scene of heterosexual intercourse as the protagonist is bisexual.
This storyline as well as the characters and names are purely fictional. If there is a chance of any misrepresentation of reality, it is pure coincidence and not intended.
Thank you to Nicole for her assistance in making suggestions and in editing. Any mistakes you see are mine; these eyes aren't what they used to be. Please enjoy and let me know what you think.
~~~ Chapter One ~~~
As the adrenaline from the call slowly ebbed, I sat down to type up the trip report. Everything was accounted for disposable equipment, medication, and completed actions from the drop-down menus. All that remained was writing the narrative. Facing the wall, with my back to the door, I began to type.
A soft knock interrupted my thoughts, followed by my name. I pulled my hands from the keyboard and turned to see Steven, the Charge RN, standing there.
"Hey," I mumbled.
"You did well, Kendra. Sometimes things just aren't meant to be, right? We all go eventually," he said, his tone casual, almost dismissive.
I gave a nod, turned back to the screen, and began typing the narrative:
"Upon arrival at 127 Fairview Street, Alpharetta, Paramedic Kendra Wills (GA-P2-7273) and Emergency Medical Technician Wilson Reigns (GA-EMT-0991) encountered a later-identified 62-year-old female, Zena Pebbles. The patient was unconscious and unresponsive to verbal or physical stimuli. Rescue breathing was initiated using standard mechanical devices, and an AED was deployed for cardiac review..."
I continued typing, documenting each step of the process, including Wilson's help with the transport to the hospital. Once I finished, I added my initials and saved the report to OneDrive, then emailed it to the hospital ER. Closing the laptop, I glanced at my cold coffee and tossed it in the trash before grabbing the laptop and heading out to the medic rescue truck.
I slid into the passenger seat next to Wilson and shrugged.
"Man, Kendra, we've had some bad luck this month. That's the third one," Wilson muttered, his -head lowered.
"Yeah, they say things come in threes," I replied. "It is what it is. After all these years, I don't keep count anymore." I radioed dispatch, letting them know we were back on duty, and the last transport was complete. "How about we grab a coffee? We've still got a few hours left on our shift."
As we drove back through the city, I reminded myself that I wasn't as detached as Steven. These people mattered. After fifteen years on the job, I still cared. Returning to the station, we were greeted by the Captain and the rest of the team. The rest of the evening passed quietly.
I've been with this station for over eleven years now. When I first moved from Fort Stewart to Alpharetta, I wasn't sure how I'd be received, but the team welcomed me with open arms. Sure, there was the typical rookie treatment that everyone goes through, but I could tell they were glad to have me around.
The next morning at seven, when Mason and Ellen came in for their shift, our seventy-two hours finally ended. I had the next forty-eight hours off before the cycle started again. Three days on, two days off, a decent enough schedule, but it didn't leave much room for a personal life.
Relationships were never my strong suit. I saw it this way: no relationship, no drama. Noreen, the girl who does my hair, always says, "Without the bad, there's no good." She's probably right, but I've got everything I need. Chloe and Amber, my Maine Coons, are at times all the company I require. Chloe, my little miracle, is gentle and affectionate, while Amber, my stealthy girl, only shows up when she feels like it, but when she does, she's the perfect cuddle buddy.
After leaving the station, I stopped by the grocery store for the week's essentials before heading home. When I pulled into the driveway, I could see both Chloe and Amber perched on the back of the sofa. Chloe had the curtain slightly parted, and Amber was right beside her, just like always.
