Crimson Star has spent more time in a hospital than he has living life. Starting from an early age, a necessary operation has shaped his whole life thus far. When he gets sick again, he's pretty sure he knows what he's in for.
Told from the perspective of my OC's son, this story is inspired by my own life experiences, and is dedicated to anyone who has spent an extended period of time immersed in the medical world, especially from childhood.
Rated Teen for slightly older themes, minor graphic descriptions, and occasional use of ponified profanity.
Edited and Proofread by Shahrazad.
Cover Art by Little Tigress. Original cover by Norm can be found here.
Supplemental Art by Tsitra360 and Ayemel.
