Do Not Resuscitate by Stefanie R. Austin
Synopsis: Let's get one thing straight: first aid and CPR instructor Terry Morton doesn't want to be here any more than you do. And it isn't just because he's stuck in a small town with a bunch of kooky characters who, in his not-so-humble opinion, are a bunch of stultus (fools) -- it's because he fears his secret will be leaked. When it inevitably does, one person ends up as lifeless as the training dummy.
