Fight, Flight, or Freeze: The Healer's Story

Fight, Flight, or Freeze: The Healer's Story

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to wake up in a body that wasn't yours? A much, much younger body? I can't say that I had ever given it much thought. That was until one night when a patient entered the ER where I was working at and shot me point blank in the head. You know, if he wanted a second opinion, all he had to do was ask. But that's besides the point... Some how, some way, I work up in a strange hospital with a woman that looked suspiciously like my mother holding my hand and crying. Over joyed to see her, it took me a few minutes to realize that I was no longer the 25 year old, successful doctor at one of the most prestigious hospitals in the world. Nope, I was a 6 year old girl that for a moment... wanted her mother. When the apocalypse comes, it is everyone for themselves. I have three choices: do I fight for what I want? Will I run away and hide, or will I freeze when the demons of my past come back to haunt me? You might know me as the Healer, but this is my story to tell. ------ Fight, Flight, or Freeze is the second novel in the Rebirth in the Apocalypse series, this time featuring the Healer: Wang Tian Mu and her men. You won't have to read the first one to be able to understand this one, and she is not going to stay a child for the whole thing. Li Dai Lu and her guys will be popping in occasionally, but this is strictly Wang Tian Mu's story! I hope you enjoy!

The story of the Flight of Icarus is a tragic Greek myth. Icarus and his father Daedalus were imprisoned on an island. Daedalus, a brilliant inventor, crafted wings made of feathers and wax for them to escape. He warned Icarus not to fly too close to the sun as the heat would melt the wax. But Icarus, in his excitement and a bit of youthful recklessness, ignored his father's warning. As he soared higher and higher towards the sun, the wax on his wings melted, and he plunged into the sea and drowned.

In the story of The Flight of Icarus, it all began with their captivity. Daedalus was a very smart man. He came up with the idea of making wings to flee. Icarus was young and perhaps a bit naive. When they took flight, the sky must have seemed so vast and free. Icarus, seeing the sun, was drawn to it. His father's words faded away in his ears. The heat of the sun melted the wax holding his feathers. And so, he fell from the sky. It's a tragic story that warns about the dangers of hubris.
