Phalanx Blood — A Four-Part Medical Thriller Serial
My blood kills cancer. You’d think that would be a good thing.
Call me “Bernard”. I’m sixteen. On my birthday I donated blood. Turns out it cures cancer. Any cancer. Any stage. And now absolutely everyone wants a piece of me. Literally.
The Premise
Ok, so I’m snarky
I can’t tell you where I live or go to school, because knowing me is officially a health hazard. I’ve got a couple of ride-or-die friends, parents who are one breaking-news alert away from a nervous breakdown, and a security detail that could probably overthrow a small country.
The Origin
My dad told me once. Just once.
He and Doc Brown — because apparently that’s what you call someone who thinks breaking into a blood lab is a solid Friday night plan — did exactly that. Broke in. Took samples. And then, because why stop at felony trespassing, they experimented on themselves.
