Chen Seven

Riley Lange, an ordinary seventeen-year-old girl of the resort planet Appalapachia, is scared of only two things- heights, since they have a bizarre tendency to cause deaths when people are around, and Chen-7, a disease so lethal it’s reserved itself to only affect two species- Time Lords… and Appalapuchians. Her mother caught it and died in a day.
Much to Riley’s dismay, she’s caught it too. Banished to Two Streams Kindness Facility, a place where time is an illusion, she is sentenced to live her life slowly dying, trying to find a cure to her disease, willing herself not to die of boredom instead.
