Based upon the evidence from the research that I have collected, I have decided to create a story about the risk of developing aplastic anemia in occupational environments. One of the characters names’ is Luke O’cyte. I have chosen this as his name because a leukocyte is a white blood cell. The other character’s name is Phil Neutro, because of the neutrophil is a type of blood cell.

Luke is employed at a city garage where he is exposed to the chemical benzene. Benzene is a major risk factor that could possibly cause aplastic anemia. The setting is in a hospital where Luke takes a blood test and gets a bone marrow biopsy. A point to get across in my creative novel is that aplastic anemia has become more common than it was a few years ago. While my father was in the hospital, two patients were admitted with aplastic anemia.
