Sylum Snippet #7
Jamie was the baby, born just 12 years ago, much to the surprise of both him mam and da. Before him had been a string of still births, three in all, and they'd resigned themselves to no more children.
But Jamie, aye, when he was born it was obvious that he was special. Born with a caul during the dark of winter, he lived in two worlds. He'd spend hours wandering the hills around their home and drive their mam to distraction with bringing home strays and injured animals.
In some ways the Doc reminded him of Jamie, with his need to help others. The Capt'n had told him how the Doc had lost everything that was dear to him due to war, that was why it was so hard on him to be here.
He'd been riding with the Capt'n now for just over a year and in that time TImmy had grown not only to admire him for being the man that he was, but to try and follow his example.
Jamie would like the Capt'n and the Doc, of that Timmy was sure.
