Science-Fiction / 7000 words // When an immortal dies, a scientist asks questions no one has asked in millennia...
You’ve created such an interesting world
Thank you! So glad you enjoyed it ;)
You can make everyone immortal, but negative emotions are much harder to control.
As long as humans remain humans, that will remain the ultimate challenge. I mean, I suppose science could find ways to mess with emotions, eventually, but wouldn't that just change us into something else?
I think it would definitely change us into something else. Whether that's a good or bad change is a different question entirely.
Great story! I love a good sci-fi/detective story, and this one reminds me of Asimov's Lije Bailey novels.
Ooohh! Asimov! Thanks for the kind words. Glad you enjoyed the story ;)
A society where murder is a thing of the past (until the inciting incident)?. We're not there yet in the real world, sadly.
I'm not even sure we can ever get there at all, but who knows?
