Flash Fiction 55 - "Bones and Muscles"


I'm sick of studying bones and muscles, Julia proclaimed.
Why did I ever want to be an orthopedic surgeon?
The answer was simple. To follow in her fathers footsteps.
The famous Dr. Wilbur Hetzog was now retired but not forgotten.
With a heavy sigh she turned the page.
She began..supraspinatus...scalenes...sternum...sternocleidomastiod!
If you have a 55 of your own check in with the G-Man at Mr. Know-It-All and check out some other fine fifty-fives!

Now I know why I would never have been able to be a doctor.....and it's not just because I can't stand the sight of blood.

There is some benefit to never having been able to get through an Algebra class.

I wonder what those classes would be like if they used an average person for the diagram. At least with this guy you can imagine he'd be nice looking if skin-covered.

Very good 55, but I'd be done in by those words.

I'm growing fond of some of these anatomy words! :)
If you ever get the chance to see
"Body Works" or "Body Worlds" please do so...a more realistic look at the human body and its innerds...:D
