THE CELLVILLE CHRONICLES

A series of stories about what is actually happening inside your body. Told through the tiny kingdom of Cellville and the workers who keep it running.

Map of Cellville, a medieval walled kingdom

Cellville is a happy place, full of busy little workers who need fuel to do their jobs. There is a key, a warehouse, three brothers who keep everything calibrated, and a furnace that runs much better on coal than wood. The science, for what it is worth, is real. The tone is something else.
