The Other Son

Summary

My brother, Dylan Skinner, was diagnosed with kidney failure and needed a transplant.

My mother shoved a voluntary donation form in front of me and tried to force me to sign it, but I refused. I told her that my immune system was weak, and I wouldn't survive with only one kidney.

She answered with two hard slaps across my face and started yelling.

"Dylan is dying, and you're still thinking about yourself? How could you be so selfish?"

To force me into it, she stormed into my advisor's office, grabbed my research samples, and said she wouldn't give them back unless I agreed.
