The White Wolf
My thoughts drifted to how my life could have been different if I had lived with him.
The nurses began to take our vitals: temperature, blood pressure, and dissolved oxygen. A pole with a hook was set up on each side of the bed. “We are going to extract a liter from each of you, then transfer each other’s blood back into your bodies.”
“You want my blood in you?” I asked him. A funny grin appeared on his face.
The doctor explained, “The blood volume needs to remain consistent. We are low on plasma at the infirmary. This is mainly recycling. Your father has about six liters of blood in him, while you have about five.”
