Thicker than Blood. Content Warning.
It was that time of month again. Cramping and migraines were welcome. The years before menopause provided the chance for increased life expectancy and reduced pain for women in Chloe’s condition.

Permanent Life Program. Content Warning.
Humanity was a tool. Ever since Edmund had used the gun to take a life as the age of ten, the weapon in his hand had felt no different to himself. Metal to skin, hand on trigger, the bang and flash. Who was the real weapon?

A Quiet Exit?
Please press play on the link you prefer before reading. Boris Pope invested in a suicide machine, for he thought it'd be serene. His life would quietly disappear, and he'd be without fear. He thought as the nitrogen entered the chamber and his oxygen levels decreased, he'd enter into a deep slumber.

Children of the Sun. Runner-Up in The Life-Extending Conundrum Challenge.
It was a perfect day. The cerulean sky above was completely cloudless and the late morning sun burned bright above; the wind was calm, little more than a gentle breeze. Behind me, I could hear the sounds of brunch being served over by the hotel’s opulent outdoor dining area; the clinking of silverware and soft, indecipherable speech dotted with superficial laughter.

I peek around the corner into your room. You’re almost back. You’ll wake up soon. How many times is this? I lost track long ago.

Dunbar Labs
Thank you for listening to Tech Stuff. I’m Johnathan Strickland the 165th. Today’s story is about Doctor Gretta Jordan, the youngest person to open her own lab. At 20, she started Dunbar Labs, which made some of the biggest discoveries in centuries. By the age of 35, she made Time Magazine's person of the year three times, she’s published many research papers and launched her own podcast. Dunbar Labs was the first lab to clone a human being, they also perfected cryogenics and made mechanical body parts with skin that looks and feels like the real thing.

The Extended Life. Content Warning.
It was late. The sun was coming through the window, and the old scientist could no longer postpone what was coming. They imagined it wouldn't be much different than the few hours of sleep gotten each night, but wasn't sure, and was anxious to see what was to come.

The Problem With Most Of The Health And Wellness Industry
Yesterday, I wrote a Satirical Article for Finding Success as a part of April Fools Day. No, you should not take it seriously, though if you need something fun to lighten your day then you should give it a read.

The Curse of Life. Content Warning.
"What do we say to the Lord of Death? 'Not today.'" - George R.R. Martin It was the quote that inspired Thea to find a way to 'beat' death, at least in a manner of speaking. She spent years recruiting willing participants to test her science and theories. Generally, the recruits were persons already nearing a visit from death, whether it be from age or illness. Their fear of dying made them willing participants, even though they knew it was a long shot... still that minuscule chance of it working kept them signing up despite failure after failure. Thea had become obsessed with breaking the curse of living, which was the inevitable reality of death lingering over everything. Her fear of death kept her from truly living life, as it did for many people as mortality weighed on their shoulders. This inspired her to seek a way to stop death... no matter the cost.

Imitation of Life. Runner-Up in The Life-Extending Conundrum Challenge.
From the recorded case files of Dr. Douglas Sirk For as long as humans have walked the earth, they have sought to fight the last great enemy-death.

Captain Nemo 2.0
The soft hum of the spaceport filled my ears as I stood by the massive observation window, gazing at the ships departing and arriving like silent fireflies in the vastness of space. The year was 2125, and I was about to embark on the journey of a lifetime—one my great-grandmother could have only dreamed of. I had always imagined what it must have felt like for the first explorers of space, those pioneers who dared to leave Earth’s surface in search of the unknown. Now, I was one of them.
