A to Z April Challenge- Vaccine




Today's word inspiration is Vaccine.

Carefully Kel used the micro dropper to pick up a drop of the blood. Setting it carefully onto the Petrie dish beside her. She had to concentrate on taking a deep breath, weeks of work had lead to this moment. In a few minutes she would find out whether it had all been worth it.

Carefully she added a small amount of her vaccine to it. Just a fraction. This was the hardest part, working out how much was required. For a long moment nothing happened, and she felt her hopes dying.

But suddenly, movement. At first she thought she had imagined it, but there it was again. Slowly but steadily the red blood cells were starting to multiply. The blood in the Petrie dish began to increase in size.

Kel stifled the urge to dance around her laboratory. She'd done it! Finally she'd done it. No longer would they be dependent upon the humans for blood.
