Over A Barrel: The Phalanx Blood Series, Part 2 is a young adult thriller novella written by Bruce E. Arrington. Time usually seems to go much too slowly when you’re sixteen, but for Bernard the last ten weeks or so had flown by with nightmarish speed. It all started with him agreeing to his parents’ request to donate blood for his birthday, in exchange for some very cool gear, but that simple act instantly morphed into a crazed media event when his blood was discovered to cure cancer -- instantly and irrevocably. And while he was able to sign a lucrative and manageable contract with one pharmaceutical company, he found himself kidnapped and held as an involuntary blood bank for five weeks. Bernard would still be there if his three friends hadn’t figured out how to rescue him and helped set him up in a temporary shelter on campus. He even has a tutor who comes and teaches him every weekday. Bernard has a feeling that there’s something off about that tutor, however, especially since he made a study of Bernard’s tiny apartment -- ostensibly to find out how large it was. When his friend’s father comes by, with talk about some friends who urgently need Bernard’s blood, Bernard begins to question just how safe he really is.
