Flotsam's Children
With assistance from Maz Weaver and Loki Carbis
Earth, 1980...
How long do you have to live to be called immortal?
One hundred years? Two hundred years? Four hundred years? More?
Or are you just long-lived until you can prove you can’t die?
And what about the person who has lived those four hundred years and has no idea why? How do you handle living a normal life once you notice you simply stopped getting older some time ago? When you see your friends get older and their children get older and you simply... don’t.
How do you handle immortality when you simply don’t know why?
And what do you do when you wake up screaming one morning from a nightmare you can’t remember to a world that no longer feels quite right?
