The Line Between Black and White: A Short Novelette About One Big "What If?"

By Kingsley C. Nurse

We have finally done it. With the help of the "strange gel-like substance", we have cured all disease. Everything. People are no longer sick. We've won...

Or did we?

This novelette explores the threat of extinction, as we struggle to live under a new order of things, for although we have cured all disease, something new arises...

This story is one of my favorite works, and I truly hope you enjoy reading it.
