Lifeblood

"You learn to live moment by moment, in a world like mine. Time as an entity begins to lose meaning, and even marking the hours by the old pink plastic wall clocka relic I brought with me from my old lifeseems merely born of nostalgia...

My whole world runs by the machine."

Anolia Green's blood saves lives, so she voluntarily becomes a research lab's "miracle cure." But after years of this life, she begins to lose herself; a fact she finally realizes when Elena, a new physical therapist, starts asking questions. Suddenly Anolia wonders where to draw the lines: between selflessness and being exploited, and between selfish love and self-love.

"Just like love itself is layered and complex and underlies the motivation of characters in this story, the narrative itself, told from Anolia's point of view, is similarly woven." Mark Leslie, Editor, Feel the Love

A short story for people who love low-stakes conflict, complex inner lives, and the X-Men.
