We had spent the weekend in a small hut by a lake in the mountains, fishing, playing poker, drinking beer and talking about the high school days. Weather had been great all weekend, but is changing rapidly now that we are returning to our cars, a two hour hike down a clearly marked mountain path.
We are still an hour from the cars, passing through a small wood, when the rain begins and thunder can be heard in the distance. As we reach the edge of the wood, the rain is pouring down. There is a strong flash, and I count slowly. As I reach ten, we hear the thunderclap.
"Two miles away. Too close, but not critical yet. We just have to get over that field, then the path will go steeply down and we will be safe from the lightning."
The others nod, and I continue, "If we run, it will take us maybe two or three minutes. Or should we stay here? A single tree would be dangerous, but a wood is not too bad."
"Let's run," they say, and we run.
I'm the fastest, and a bit ahead of the others when I feel my hair stand on its edge, and a strange tingling everywhere. I instinctively raise my left arm above my head, shout "Down!" and throw myself at the ground, just as my world explodes in a bright flash and intense pain in all my body.
******
I wake up lying on my back in a hospital bed. My body is covered by a sheet, my arms are on top of the sheet and my left arm is encased in some kind of plastic cast between the elbow and the wrist. Electrodes are attached to my brow, and I can see my brain waves on a screen next to the bed. The word AWAKE is flashing in green on the screen. I look around. The room is pretty large, with a sofa and some chairs in addition to the hospital bed. Outside the window, I see a few trees. This must be a fancy private clinic, or perhaps a VIP room in a hospital, strange.
As I move slightly it feels like I am naked below the sheet. I quickly check with my right hand, I am indeed naked.
At that moment the door opens, and a nurse enters. She is not very tall, has dark skin, and her pretty face is framed by curly almost black hair.
"Ah, you are awake Jason, that is good," she says, and closes the door behind her.
"I am Lissabet, I am your nurse today. Do you know what happened to you?"
"I am not sure. I think I was hit by the lightning?"
"Yes you were," she continues, "and pretty badly. You would have died without treatment. Fortunately, there was only slight damage to your heart, we have kept you sedated for two days while it healed. We just scanned you, it looks like there will be no long-lasting damage. But I would like to make a few simple test to verify that there is no neurological issues. Is that OK?"
"Sure," I say.
"What is your full name and birthday?"
"Jason Mark Cormac, October 10, 2000," I answer.
"Please count backwards from 23."
"23, 22, 21, 20, 19, 18, 17,..."
She interrupts me, "That's fine. Lets look at your arm."
She presses a button on the strange cast on my arm, and it opens up. The gel inside lets go of my skin without leaving a residue. I see that my skin is pink in places, as after a burn.
"This looks very good. How does it feel when I touch it?"
"Pretty normal."
"Now open and close your left hand... good, and bend your fingers one at at time... good, raise your arm and bend the elbow. All good, now do the same with the right hand."
She looks satisfied. "Now lift your right leg."
"I think I am naked under the sheet."
She smiles at me, "Don't worry about that."
I lift my leg, bend it, moves the ankle and wiggles my toes, as she instructs. Then I do the same with the other leg.
"Only one thing left to check, but that can be a bit embarrassing. We really need to check that your private parts still work as intended. Is that OK?"
She does not wait for an answer, instead she removes the sheet and exposes my willy. She reaches for it, and begins to gently touch my balls and dick. It almost immediately begins to stiffen. She continues to touch me until I am quite hard. Then she looks me in my eyes, and winkle.
"We should test it properly, shouldn't we?"
Again, she does not wait for an answer. She quickly removes her uniform, and stands by the bed in black panties and no bra. Then she removes the panties and gets into the bed, straddling me. She slowly slides down over my stiff dick.
For a moment I am seriously worried that I have died or am having a near-death experience. But if this were some kind of hallucination, she would probably look more like a porn model. She is somewhat chubby, and her breasts are quite small. I give up making sense of what is happening, and reach for her breasts with both hands. She begins moving rhythmically, I can feel her wetness inside, and how her pussy tightens around my cock, as I massage her breasts. She moans.
After a few very pleasant minutes, I feel her vaginal muscles contract around my cock as she comes, and moments later I ejaculate inside her.
"Seriously, Lissabet! You know you are not supposed to fuck the patients."
We had not noticed that the door had opened and two women had entered. One is dressed as a doctor, the other is completely naked.
Lissabet does not look particularly ashamed over being caught in the act. She looks at the women, but remains on top of me with my dick inside her.
"If it was that bad, you would have interrupted me."
The naked woman shakes her head, "Interrupted you before you came? That would have been outright cruel. What would Jason think about me if I did that. But enough fun, get off him and get dressed."
As Lissabet gets out of the bed, my now half-soft dick slides out of her. She takes a wet wipe and cleans it, then she picks up her clothes.
"Jason, we need to talk. No need to stay in the bed, it is more comfortable in the sofa over there," she points at the small sofa and two chairs in the other end of the room.
"But I am naked," I protest, but realize the absurdity of it. She is naked too, and Lissabet has just been fucking me without any shame. What kind of strange hospital is this? I get out of the bed, and sit in the sofa. The doctor sits next to me, and the naked woman takes one of the chairs.
Her skin is rather pale and freckled, and her hair is ginger, with a matching bush between her legs. Her large breasts are slightly sagging, I estimate her age to be forty or so. She sits with her legs slightly spread, not enough to be vulgar, but she is clearly not hiding her pussy. Behind her, Lissabet is buttoning her uniform.
"You must have a thousand questions," the naked woman says.
I nod. "Where am I?"
She smiles, "You are at the National Center for Temporal Rescue. I am Dr. Molly O'Hare, and I am its director."
"
Temporal
rescue? Am I supposed to ask 'When am I'?"
"You are quick. Yes, that is the key question. It is the third of May, and the year is 2741."
I sit for a moment, stunned. "So the lightning killed me?"
"It did. Or rather, it would have, if we had not snatched you."
"Thank you, I guess, but why?"
