Non-Fiction
On the first day of the new year, no one dies. This of
course causes consternation among politicians, religious
leaders, morticians, and doctors. Among the general public,
on the other hand, there is initially celebration—flags are
hung out on balconies, people dance in the streets. They
have achieved the great goal of humanity: eternal life.
Then reality hits home—families are left to care for the
permanently dying, life-insurance policies become
meaningless, and funeral parlors are reduced to arranging
burials for pet dogs, cats, hamsters, and parrots. Death sits in her chilly apartment, where she lives alone
with scythe and filing cabinets, and contemplates her
experiment: What if no one ever died again? What if she,
death with a small d, became human and were to fall in
love?
