Description

In a distant future where humanity has conquered death, the burden of endless years demands emotional discipline—a lesson Doctor Webb Fellow knows all too well. When Anne Tabor, the city’s first selected mother in a generation, falls ill with a rapidly mutating leukemia, Webb is called to save her life and preserve the hope she carries for the next generation. Their sterile, high‑tech clinic glows with mercury baths and humming monitors, while the tension between duty, compassion, and the lingering stir of long‑suppressed affection threatens to unravel the calm veneer of immortal society.

As Webb races against time, the story explores how love, jealousy, and responsibility fester beneath the surface of a world that has learned to view emotions as dangerous liabilities. The narrative balances clinical precision with the raw human yearning to connect, asking whether true sanity can ever exist when eternity magnifies every feeling.
