Number 30: Traumatic Injury

Winner of the SD Harvey Short Crime Story Award 2022



Both Jono and his crewmate, Jan Reid, are amazed to discover they’re going to someone who believes he’s Spider-Man. Evidently, his climbing skills are in doubt, as he’s somehow broken both his ankles, but once on scene, it’s the paramedics’ Spidey senses that begin tingling…



One in a series of humorous short stories about Jonothan Byrne, an Intensive Care Paramedic responding to emergencies in Brisbane, Australia (5034 words). The books can be read in any order as the number in the title refers to the codes used to dispatch ambulances.
