The Porphyrion Machine

Published: July 29, 2022, 6:35 a.m.

When people in a newly prosperous town fall ill from a mysterious blood disease that doctors cannot cure or treat, one patient invents his own treatment.

Genre: Science Fiction

 

Excerpt:
They went to visit him at night. They had to. They could not walk about by day, for the light of the sun was abhorrent to them.

Those words were taken from the writings of a nurse who resided in the town at the foot of the hills, a charming and lively town in modern times. But steeped in accounts of strange—some say otherworldly—events from only a few generations past.

Episode Art Description: Digital drawing.  At center, a person seen from the back, sitting in a chair, arms laying on the armrests. A tube leads from each arm to a machine that the person is facing. The tubes are filled with a red liquid, presumably blood. Simple dials, wheels, buttons, and indicator lights, all unmarked, are seen on face of the machine, arranged mostly symmetrically on the left and right of the figure.
