Belly of the Volcano
It’s in the intricacies, mind over matter has erupted and spread ashes all around for the masses to inhale. Intermingled in the psyche, with the help of visual, audio, and emotional stimulus to support absolute belief.

The Monotony of Eternity
Matted gray hair moved rhythmically with Ian’s new heartbeat. As he looked in the mirror at his scar and then down towards his chest the rug of gray chest hair pulsed like a sleepy chipmunk curling up for a nap.

Thicker than Blood. Content Warning.

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.

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.
