Chapter 11

"Look, I can't survive this, treatment costs 10,000 a month on average and while it's a treatable thing, I can't afford it."
THIS IS YOUR LIFE, EDDIE, SURELY HUMANS WILL OVERLOOK THE COST IN EXCHANGE FOR YOUR LIFE.
A bitter smile crossed my face,
"Many people wish that, but there is only so much money the world will freely give in exchange for a life. Treated lung cancer has a low survival rate but I could never work it off and I'd drown in debt until I'd lose my apartment and then Philip..." I gave a look over at the sleeping furball.
...HOW LONG DO YOU HAVE LEFT?
"Around 5 years, possibly less depending on how quickly it spreads, even those who are treated at an early stage have a 56 percent chance at surviving anyway,"
I hummed the tune to Alien Boy when I saw Venom crawl into the kitchen.
"Pig,"
"Human,"
