Click here"I know. I would have three dead bridesmaids. I nearly had three dead bridesmaids and a dead friend."
"We are all here and alive."
"And you had better be here this evening. They have asked for the fatted calf and afterwards ..."
"The fatted calf I'll accept graciously. Afterwards worries me. I don't want to be chased by angry husbands or boyfriends."
"Don't worry, Duncan. All three are currently footloose and fancy free. They decided to stay longer than necessary because all three have recently broken relationships. A night with you might be good therapy for them."
"What about me? Will I survive a night with three man-eaters?"
"You are not that decrepit. If you like I will tell them to be gentle with you."
"No thanks, James. I'll do my best. See you this evening."
I went back to my flat, hung the tent in the drying room that I rented in the basement, and had a long soak in the bath. I was back on the road well in time and arrived at the inn just before seven. The sign was switched off but I went in. James showed me through to the dining room to meet Ann, Hazel and Judy as they really were, not as the bedraggled waifs I had rescued last night.
What happens tonight? Will Duncan survive a second encounter? If the story continues it will not have an Earth Day theme so I will leave Duncan at the beginning of another ordeal.

WARNINGS: Hypothermia is a real danger to walkers in the United Kingdom. Getting wet in the United Kingdom's climate can kill. Swimming in any body of water, river, lake or the sea during most months of the year can cause hypothermia.
Duncan's treatment is not recommended. Mild hypothermia can be treated by gentle warmth but most cases need emergency room treatment or at least professional assessment.
Duncan SHOULD have got the women dry and in the sleeping bag then gone for professional help. But I wouldn't have had a story ...
It should be noted that any wet clothing inside a sleeping bag will degrade the warming abilities of the sleeping bag. So, stripping completely, and drying as much as possible, the cold victim is the better course of action so that inside the bag remains as dry as possible.
Had to deal with one case IRL, when I was part of a rescue team, on exercise. Fortunately we were working with the coastguard helicopter team and they ferried the case to the hospital. The coastguard helicopter has a hot air pipe (warmed from the engine) that can blow warm air into the Cas-Bag (like a really overstuffed sleeping bag).
And a public service as well. Very nice story!
Short, sweet, to the point, no wasted energy. And all too believable.
I really would have liked the story to carry on. I got a hint that Ann might be feeling more than a crush for Duncan.
