4:30pm Evergreens

by Madeline Hunter Smith

ER doctor Natalie Green and triage nurse Sean Halcomb are stuck with the night shift on Christmas Eve at Evergreens County Hospital in their sleepy Alberta town. As the end of the shift approaches and it seems like the pair might make it through the night without any major incident, Natalie and Sean are caught by surprise when an older man arrives at the emergency room through the heavy snow. The medical team work to treat him and, as Christmas morning draws near, so do each of their unspoken truths.
