Until Life Do Us Part

In a future where death has been conquered and humans can live for centuries, love has become the most dangerous addiction. Webb Fellow is an Immortal, one of the lucky few granted eternal life, but he's learned the brutal arithmetic of forever: to survive millennia without breaking, you cannot afford to feel. Attachment means loss, and loss means madness in a world where grief has no end. But when Webb meets a woman who makes him question everything his society has taught him, he faces an impossible choice: remain safely numb for eternity, or risk his sanity on a love that could destroy him. Winston K. Marks, writing in the anxious aftermath of the atomic age, crafted this thought experiment as a meditation on what makes us human. If we could live forever, would we still be capable of the very thing that gives life meaning? For readers who loved "The Twilight Zone" and early philosophical science fiction, this is a haunting, quietly devastating portrait of immortality as both dream and curse.
