\"DNA<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Thirty days till the Procedure –
a successful separation
or death sentence for them both? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The gigantic experiment that killed his scientists father fused a fourth-dimensional<\/a> alien into Felix at age three, leaving his body contorted and hyperintelligent Zyx permanently part of his brain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Zyx is a secret from everyone except Felix’s older sister Beatrix (piano genius), Mom, and Grandy (grandparent who is Vera with pearls or Vern in flannel or neither) – and the government group where Dad worked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When Zyx encounters something new, its enthusiasm causes body spasms so Felix is shunned or bullied at school, his own mental capacity questioned by most teachers, except Mrs. C who encourages him to enter the annual essay contest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The government experts say that the 13 year old and Zyx must be separated now, or Felix won’t grow to adulthood!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Felix journals what he and Zyx think about and encounter during the 30 days leading up to the Procedure – Zyx’s new-found joy in online chess making Mom’s boyfriend think Felix is a chess genius; Felix finally talking to his crush Hector, then a big misunderstanding; Zyx taking Felix on a small journey into the fourth dimension\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because whether Zyx and Felix survive the Procedure or not, now is the time to celebrate the most important things in life! And finish that essay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you knew you had a short time to live, what would you do first?
