The Carriers

Panda McMann is a patient at St. Margaret’s Hospital, but she and her fellow inmates aren’t sick. Not anymore. They survived the fatal disease that wiped out thousands of people. Unfortunately, their survival came with a price: they became carriers. They’re contained within the walls of the hospital and treated as lab rats, undergoing experimental tests as doctors search for a cure...tests the patients don’t always survive. Fate has played Panda a cruel hand, and she’s convinced she’ll never see the outside world again. But there is more at work in St. Margaret’s than Panda realizes. "The Carriers" by K. B. Bailey is a short story published by Mannison Press.
