Katherine and Alex went to see a research scientist involved in diagnostics for ancient (and extinct) diseases. (Her name is Dr Bhati and she is also working for Field Marshal Panak. Her laboratory is inside the secret Christmas Island hideout the resistance have acquired.) CLICK HERE for next story in the series.
Wow what a suspense….can’t wait to know what happens…please don’t let Katherine die!
Thanks, Apurva, I’m glad you’re enjoying this story. (I don’t want Katherine to die either 🙂 ) One thing about Kat is that she almost never gives up..
Thrrrilling story, Cheryl and Purrfect drawing…as always. Extra Pawkisses for our abcense 🙂
From one cat lover to another, pawkisses to you too! I’m glad you’re enjoying the story, it means a lot. 😀
As always Cheryl your storyline remains tight and tense. As always the artwork is superb.

Thanks, David, I’m glad you like it, all the best, Cheryl. 😀
I’ll go further – I think the artwork is some of your best. You capture the tensions and expressions in those figures and the group is beautifully balanced.
Thanks, Frederick! 😀 I’m glad the artwork compliments this sensitive story.
Cheryl, your style of writing fits the blog format perfectly. I’m always excited to read each new entry
Thanks, Lee, I’m glad you’re enjoying this series! 😀
Reblogged this on Modern Boredom.
Hi Cheryl! Great issue – and the promise of some gothic horror by the sounds of it. I love the tenderness of your drawings.
Thanks Richard, glad you’re still enjoying this series. (I’m still writing it!) :O I think it’s going to span an entire year!
Did I miss something?…I don’t understand why the government is against cures. I know Kat won’t die, she is too important to the narrative. What fascinates me is how much reader’s comments influence your writing…do they? Is this a communal story in that sense? Whatever, your art and words are as addictive as ever…
Thanks John. That’s an interesting point. Most of the story is fixed, but there are certainly some aspects, that are influenced by readers, and a few character arcs which people have asked me to write more in depth about. A good example is Giselle Balsara and Toreth Rek-cho, whose stories evolved from reader requests. This story however, isn’t as organic as that, and is one of the original story lines. I like the interaction though between reader and writer. I’m glad you’re enjoying it. I haven’t written much about the government so you haven’t missed anything. In fact the only reference to the government is in Lucy Apfvarzian’s story, where we hear about the rather Orwellian “Bureau of Complaints,” http://wp.me/pXe9M-AT
I cannot believe that I haven’t visited your blog in so long, Cheryl. I must go back and have a good read through!
Thanks, Sophie, glad to have you back. I hope you enjoy reading. All the best, Cheryl.
I just completely forgot to visit your blog!
-Oops!
Ah well, life’s more important than fiction 🙂
I love fiction though- I have no excuse!
Ah, me too!
