Throw Them Out

“Poor girl, why is she alone?”

“Where are her parents? How can they be so irresponsible?”

Bystanders gossiped and finger-pointed.

Some of them turned their heads as if avoiding a horrific scene.

As Calvin drew nearer, his heart raced like a wild stallion within his chest, each beat echoing the tumult of his emotions.

Through the haze of panic and despair, he began to discern the outline of a figure sprawled on the unforgiving pavement, the stark contrast of blood against the pale surface sending a jolt of terror coursing through his veins.

There, on the floor, laid his sister, broken and fragile.

With a voice choked with dread and desperation, he called out his sister's name, the syllables hanging heavy in the air amidst the chaos of the crowd.

Anxious faces turned towards him, eyes wide with fear and uncertainty, parting like a hesitant tide to make way for Calvin's frenzied approach.

With every step, his lungs burned with the effort of drawing in air, his mind consumed by a singular, desperate urge: to reach Lizzie's side before it was too late.

At last, Calvin reached her, his legs trembling beneath him as he sank to his knees beside her motionless form.

With trembling hands, he reached out, his fingers brushing against her blood-soaked skin as he pleaded for aid, his voice a raw symphony of anguish and despair.

The once boisterous crowd fell silent, their fearful murmurs fading into the background as Calvin enveloped his sister's battered body in his arms. Tears streamed down his face unchecked, mingling with the crimson stains that marked her fragile form.

With trembling lips pressed against her forehead, he whispered words of desperate prayer, his heart splintering into a thousand jagged shards at the sight of her pale, lifeless face.

"Please, Lizzie," he pleaded, his voice thick with emotion. "Stay with me. Don't leave me alone."

Frantically, he sought any sign of life, his fingers trembling as he pressed them against her neck, searching for the faintest whisper of a pulse. And then, in a moment of both agony and hope, he felt it—a faint, almost imperceptible beat beneath his touch.

"Help! Somebody, please!" he cried, his voice cracking with urgency. "She's still alive!"

“Who dares step forward!”

As doctors and nurses rushed to Lizzie's aid, their urgent footsteps were drowned out by the cacophony of panicked voices. A sudden shout pierced through the chaos, commanding them to halt.

Startled, the medical staff turned to see Kevin striding arrogantly into the scene, his presence casting a shadow of apprehension over the frantic efforts to save Lizzie.

“Stop right there!”

With a disdainful wave of his hand, Kevin ordered the medical staff to stand down, his voice laced with contempt as he asserted his authority.

"This patient owes the hospital a significant amount of money. No one is to assist her until her debts are settled. Anyone who defies this order will be held personally responsible for her unpaid bills!"

The threat hung ominously in the air, paralyzing the resolve of the medical professionals who exchanged worried glances but dared not defy Kevin's command.

Calvin's fury erupted like a volcano, fueled by a primal instinct to protect his sister at any cost. Disregarding the potential consequences, he let out a guttural roar of defiance and charged at Kevin with unbridled rage.

His fist collided with Kevin's jaw with a sickening thud, sending the man crashing to the ground in a heap of limbs and pride.

The impact reverberated through the courtyard, momentarily silencing the chaos as Calvin stood over his fallen adversary, his chest heaving with exertion and righteous anger. A surge of satisfaction coursed through him, but it was quickly overshadowed by the grim reality of Lizzie's dire condition.

Ignoring the shocked onlookers and the groaning form of Kevin sprawled at his feet, Calvin turned back to his sister, his hands trembling as he reached out to cradle her limp form. Tears welled in his eyes as he whispered words of reassurance, vowing to do whatever it took to save her, regardless of the obstacles in his path.

"You! How dare you!" Kevin's voice thundered, his face contorted with rage as he struggled to rise with the aid of some guards.

"Get them out of here!" Kevin bellowed once more, his command echoing through the courtyard.

However, some guards hesitated, their hearts moved with pity for Calvin and his sister, their sense of compassion conflicting with Kevin's harsh directives.

"I said, get them out of here!" Kevin's voice cracked with fury, his eyes blazing as he reiterated his demand, unwilling to tolerate any defiance.

  • The Legacy of a Mortal God

    The world eventually quieted down.Months had passed since the bloodshed that once tore cities apart. The chaos that had claimed so many lives finally faded into a distant, painful memory. People began rebuilding, though scars remained—on their streets, in their minds, and within their hearts.But far from the ruins and noise, tucked behind the misty cliffs of an unmarked country, a hospital stood as a symbol of peace.A sanctuary.The private hospital gifted to Calvin Hudson by the cartel had transformed beyond what anyone could have imagined. Now called Sanctuary of the Living, it was a place of healing—for the poor, the broken, even for enemies. Criminals, refugees, even soldiers from warring factions had walked through its doors. No one was turned away. All were treated.Not because Calvin sought to be a hero. But because he had chosen to be human.A plaque outside the entrance read:"A healer does not jud

  • Born in the Midst of Fire and Steel

    It was not a day for peace.That morning, Calvin was summoned personally by the cartel boss. There was no room for confusion in the man’s voice—only steel and urgency.“Ride with me,” the boss ordered. “Stay in the mobile unit. If things go south, you’re our last line of survival.”Without hesitation, Calvin complied. He packed his equipment, activated the system’s portable diagnostic modules, and climbed into the armored vehicle. The air was thick with tension, almost metallic, as though the world itself held its breath for what was about to unfold.A rival cartel had crossed the border.This wasn’t a mere scuffle between street gangs. It was an organized invasion, brutal and calculated, meant to topple the empire Calvin now served as its chief medic. The dangerous nation's cartel was feared across borders, their influence reaching into the highest corridors of power. But today, they were under

  • A Shield in the Shadows

    They had waited for what felt like forever. The room was silent except for the occasional beep from the monitoring devices. Calvin stood still, arms crossed, his eyes fixed on the system display that projected the patients’ vital signs. He had commanded the system to track every minute fluctuation—no anomaly was to be missed.And finally, after hours of tense waiting, the system let out a soft chime.Ding![Alert: Patient neurological response activity detected. Signs of consciousness imminent.]A small smile crept onto Calvin’s lips. He turned to the cartel boss and said calmly, “They’re waking up.”The man stiffened. “What?”“They’re regaining consciousness,” Calvin repeated, this time with unmistakable joy.Without a second thought, the cartel boss pushed past his guards and stepped closer to the pair of patients lying unconscious just minutes ago. His heart pounded

  • The Hidden Room

    What had started as a lie was quickly unraveling into a strange truth.Hugo had only fabricated the story about Calvin needing to save someone—just to satisfy the cartel boss’s demands and convince Calvin to leave. But as their convoy pulled into the heart of the cartel’s stronghold, Hugo realized with a creeping sense of unease that the boss’s insistence on bringing Calvin had not been a bluff.Not at all.Calvin, Christina, and Hugo were immediately separated from the rest of the crew and led through a long corridor, far beneath the central estate. The guards remained silent, their expressions grave. Surveillance cameras tracked every step. The deeper they went, the colder the air became, and the more Hugo noticed how even high-ranking members of the cartel were forbidden to follow.“This way,” the boss said grimly, taking the lead.They arrived at a heavy steel door hidden behind what looked like a plain wall

  • Echoes and Ultimatums

    Hugo sat alone in a dimly lit bar, the air thick with smoke and bitterness. The flickering television above the counter droned on with urgent tones, and all eyes were on the screen.Footage of Calvin—bloodied, exhausted, hunched beside burnt debris—played over and over again like a cruel loop. Sirens wailed in the background, medics rushed through smoke, and Calvin’s white coat was stained with soot and blood. His face looked haunted.“From a hero… to a disgrace,” the news anchor declared, their tone drenched in drama.Gasps, scoffs, and curses erupted from the patrons.“Serves him right,” one muttered. “So much for the golden doctor.”“Overhyped, if you ask me,” another said, slamming his glass on the counter. “Couldn’t even keep his clinic from burning down.”A man near the door hurled a beer bottle at the screen. It shattered on impact, drawing laug

  • The Man at the Balcony

    The days that followed the fire were a blur of funerals, tears, and headlines soaked with outrage.Calvin took responsibility for everything.He paid for every funeral. For the coffins, for the flowers, for the burial rites. He ensured every grieving family received not only condolences but support—monthly stipends, medical coverage, and in the case of parents who perished, full educational funding for their children until college. No media outlet reported it. Calvin never held a press conference. He didn’t want applause.He wanted to grieve.But the world wouldn’t let him do it in peace.Online forums, social media feeds, news anchors—all began calling him a “fallen hero,” a “disgraced doctor,” and for some, “a murderer in a white coat.”"Why didn't he protect them if he had powers?""Why was the clinic so easy to burn?""Was this all a setup? Did Calvin stage this?"<
