Idle<br /> -talk now, but it was ghastly reality to Kent!</i></p> - -<hr class="chap" /> - -<p>Howard Kent looked at his young and beautiful wife and felt the weight -of the years rest on his shoulders. In her eyes he saw his heavily -lined face and sagging, stooped shoulders.</p> - -<p>They stood just inside the long, narrow reception room of the Human -Rejuvenation Plant. Potted palms and formal chairs reminded one of a -Human Disposal unit.</p> - -<p>"I have a confession to make, darling," he said.</p> - -<p>"Oh, no, Howard. Not now. I take for granted you've done the usual -things in your youth."</p> - -<p>"But...."</p> - -<p>"And we needn't have hurried so, as you can see. Now we'll probably -have to wait hours in this perfectly dismal place."</p> - -<p>She looked as young and fresh as he looked old and dusty, he thought, -so out of place in this kind of establishment.</p> - -<p>He had always loved small women. Leah was small and vivacious and -dressed a year ahead of styles. No matter what happened, he'd never -regret having married her.</p> - -<p>"But this is something I should have told you before," he said.</p> - -<p>She put her hand on his arm. "I've been perfectly happy these past six -months. Whatever it was, I forgive you."</p> - -<p>"It's not that. I'm talking about my age. I didn't think you'd marry -me if you knew how old I really was. I put off telling you and figured -you'd see my birth certificate at the wedding ceremony."</p> - -<p>"I never even looked at the silly old thing."</p> - -<p>"Well, darling, I looked at yours and felt a little guilty in marrying -a young girl of twenty-three. But the fact is I'm sixty-five. I've been -rejuvenated before."</p> - -<p>"I rather suspected it when you started aging so suddenly last week," -she said. "Before that you didn't look a day over thirty. But it -doesn't matter."</p> - -<p>"It's worse than that, Leah." His face worked convulsively. "I've been -here twice before. This is my third trip."</p> - -<p>"I'm too modern to act shocked, Howard. If you didn't want to tell me -before, dear, it's perfectly all right."</p> - -<p>"Look, darling!" Perspiration stood on his forehead. "You don't seem -to understand. But then you never could add or subtract. Now listen -carefully. Each trip clips five years off your life span."</p> - -<p>"Everyone knows that, of course. But it's better to be young...."</p> - -<p>"It's better to be alive than dead," he said harshly.</p> - -<p>"But your doctors have given you a longevity span to the age of -ninety."</p> - -<p>"Suppose it was eighty, instead of ninety?"</p> - -<p>"Oh, dear, you worry too much," she said. "Doctors don't make such -mistakes."</p> - -<p>"They can't give me a guarantee. You see, three of my ancestors -died from accidents. The prediction of ninety years is based on the -assumption that they would have lived a normal life-time."</p> - -<p>"They make few guarantees. You know, all of you men are such babies at -a time like this."</p> - -<p>"Yes, but if it <i>is</i> eighty—then, I'll come out not a rejuvenated man, -but just a handful of dust."</p> - -<p>"Oh, that can't happen."</p> - -<hr class="tb" /> - -<p>"Look at it this way." He paused a moment while taking in her youthful -appearance. "From now on I wouldn't look much older. Just a little -grayer and perhaps more stooped. Then, I'll have what's left of my -longevity plus the five years this rejuvenation would clip off."</p> - -<p>"Why, Howard, dear." Leah sounded shocked. "You don't know what you're -talking about. An aunt of mine elected that choice and it was perfectly -horrible. She drooled the last few years of her life and was helpless -as a baby."</p> - -<p>"Why didn't they use Euthanasia?" he asked.</p> - -<p>"The courts decided she wasn't capable of making a rational decision."</p> - -<p>He wiped his forehead. "That would be a long time off, darling. We'd -have so much time together in the next fifteen years."</p> - -<p>"But what would it be like if you were crippled with arthritis or some -other disease?"</p> - -<p>"You could divorce me if that happens."</p> - -<p>"I can also divorce you if you don't go through with rejuvenation. You -know it's the law."</p> - -<p>"You wouldn't do that." His face was more lined than ever.</p> - -<p>"Don't be silly, dear. Nobody gets old these days. Who would remain our -friends? Why, everywhere we'd go, people would point us out. Oh, no, -life wouldn't be livable."</p> - -<p>"That sounds like a cruel and calculating decision to me," Howard said. -"Either I take a chance on dying or you'll divorce me."</p> - -<p>"You have no right to make such an accusation. I married a young man -who said he was thirty years old. Six months later I discover he's -sixty-five. Now who's cruel and calculating?"</p> - -<p>"Please, darling, I didn't mean it. Look," he pleaded, "I'll even sign -permission for you to have a lover. There's that young fellow that's -always around. Maybe it's happened already."</p> - -<p>She stood back from him. "Howard, you're being perfectly nasty. Just -like an aged person you read about."</p> - -<p>"Five million dollars, and all of it yours when I die a natural death." -He put his hands in his pockets.</p> - -<hr class="tb" /> - -<p>The street door opened just then and a young man came toward them with -a light springy step.</p> - -<p>He offered his hand to Howard who took it slowly. "How are you, -skipper? And you, Leah? I came as soon as I got your message."</p> - -<p>"He's worried, Mike." Leah's face had brightened. "And now he's -insisting on growing old."</p> - -<p>"I've been through the wringer twice before, you see," Howard said in a -low voice.</p> - -<p>"I don't think you have much to worry about," Mike said. "Those medics -know their business."</p> - -<p>"Aging is a nasty process." Leah wrinkled her nose as if she smelled -something offensive. "Maybe you can convince him, Mike."</p> - -<p>"Leah is right, you know," Mike said. "A few years ago I visited the -old age home. There's only one left. You'd be surprised at the amount -of suffering old people go through before they die; cancer, angina, -broken bones, strokes, arthritis. Rejuvenation won't work on extremely -old bodies. Longevity has run out."</p> - -<p>"Why does it have to clip off five years?" worried Howard.</p> - -<p>"It's the old-age governor they found in the pituitary gland. They can -turn it back, but the shock takes off about five years."</p> - -<p>"Oh, I know what's in the medical articles," Howard growled. "Remember, -I've been through here twice before. But the Sun was so warm this -morning. It was like seeing everything for the last time. I felt like -sitting down and letting everything drift."</p> - -<p>"That's a sure sign that you really need rejuvenating," said Leah. -"After it's over you'll be making me a golf widow again. Won't he, -Mike?"</p> - -<p>"Of course. He'll come out raring to go."</p> - -<p>Howard looked from Mike to Leah and back at Mike. Age was no match for -youth. If love hadn't started between them already, it would soon.</p> - -<hr class="tb" /> - -<p>At the end of the long room, a door opened and two nurses entered, -starched and antiseptic.</p> - -<p>"Your room is ready, Mr. Kent," one nurse said.</p> - -<p>Howard shuddered. "Everything is so horribly familiar. The pill to -erase the worry, which doesn't work. The cart you ride on which makes -you feel like a carcass. The little bump as you enter the regeneration -room. Then you get a hypodermic and crawl into a long boiler tank."</p> - -<p>"You're just nervous, dear," said Leah.</p> - -<p>"A dismal, miasmic cloud settles on your mind and you decide you -wouldn't go through it again for anything in the world."</p> - -<p>Mike put his arm around Leah as if it were the most natural thing in -the world. "He'll be all right, my darling."</p> - -<hr class="chap" /> - -<div class="figcenter"> - <img src="images/illus.jpg" width="385" height="500" alt=""/> -</div> - -<hr class="chap" /> - -<p>Howard looked at them and then turned wearily to the nurse. "I'm ready."</p> - -<p>The nurse walked down the long room with the stooped man and -disappeared beyond the door.</p> - -<p>"Did you tell him about us?" asked Mike.</p> - -<p>"Of course not. What a man doesn't know won't hurt him."</p> - -<p>"Are you Mrs. Kent?" asked the other nurse who had remained behind.</p> - -<p>"Yes."</p> - -<p>"The doctor said to remind you that the fourth time is very dangerous," -the nurse said. "You'll have five years and six months without it. But -possibly only six months if it should be successful."</p> - -<p>"Better take the first offer, Leah," said Mike.</p> - -<p>Leah smiled. "I found a gray hair and a wrinkle this morning, love. -Better six months of youth than a thousand years of old age."</p> - -<p>She went into his arms. "Don't worry about what happens, love. You'll -have a lot of fun in the next seventy years."</p> - -<p>He kissed her and held her closely.</p> - -<p>"I've got to go now," she said. "I'm so grateful you were able to get -the forged birth certificate."</p> - -<p>Her high heels tapped rapidly on the tile floor as she walked down the -long room with the other nurse.</p> - -<p>"Good luck, Mother," he called after her.</p> - - - - - - - - -<pre> - - - - - -End of the Project Gutenberg EBook of Up For Renewal, by Lucius Daniel - -*** END OF THIS PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK UP FOR RENEWAL *** - -***** This file should be named 51035-h.htm or 51035-h.zip ***** -This and all associated files of various formats will be found in: - http://www.gutenberg.org/5/1/0/3/51035/ - -Produced by Greg Weeks, Mary Meehan and the Online -Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net - - -Updated editions will replace the previous one--the old editions will -be renamed. - -Creating the works from print editions not protected by U.S. copyright -law means that no one owns a United States copyright in these works, -so the Foundation (and you!) can copy and distribute it in the United -States without permission and without paying copyright -royalties.

Idle - talk now, but it was ghastly reality to Kent! - - -Howard Kent looked at his young and beautiful wife and felt the weight -of the years rest on his shoulders. In her eyes he saw his heavily -lined face and sagging, stooped shoulders. - -They stood just inside the long, narrow reception room of the Human -Rejuvenation Plant. Potted palms and formal chairs reminded one of a -Human Disposal unit. - -"I have a confession to make, darling," he said. - -"Oh, no, Howard. Not now. I take for granted you've done the usual -things in your youth." - -"But...." - -"And we needn't have hurried so, as you can see. Now we'll probably -have to wait hours in this perfectly dismal place." - -She looked as young and fresh as he looked old and dusty, he thought, -so out of place in this kind of establishment. - -He had always loved small women. Leah was small and vivacious and -dressed a year ahead of styles. No matter what happened, he'd never -regret having married her. - -"But this is something I should have told you before," he said. - -She put her hand on his arm. "I've been perfectly happy these past six -months. Whatever it was, I forgive you." - -"It's not that. I'm talking about my age. I didn't think you'd marry -me if you knew how old I really was. I put off telling you and figured -you'd see my birth certificate at the wedding ceremony." - -"I never even looked at the silly old thing." - -"Well, darling, I looked at yours and felt a little guilty in marrying -a young girl of twenty-three. But the fact is I'm sixty-five. I've been -rejuvenated before." - -"I rather suspected it when you started aging so suddenly last week," -she said. "Before that you didn't look a day over thirty. But it -doesn't matter." - -"It's worse than that, Leah." His face worked convulsively. "I've been -here twice before. This is my third trip." - -"I'm too modern to act shocked, Howard. If you didn't want to tell me -before, dear, it's perfectly all right." - -"Look, darling!" Perspiration stood on his forehead. "You don't seem -to understand. But then you never could add or subtract. Now listen -carefully. Each trip clips five years off your life span." - -"Everyone knows that, of course. But it's better to be young...." - -"It's better to be alive than dead," he said harshly. - -"But your doctors have given you a longevity span to the age of -ninety." - -"Suppose it was eighty, instead of ninety?" - -"Oh, dear, you worry too much," she said. "Doctors don't make such -mistakes." - -"They can't give me a guarantee. You see, three of my ancestors -died from accidents. The prediction of ninety years is based on the -assumption that they would have lived a normal life-time." - -"They make few guarantees. You know, all of you men are such babies at -a time like this." - -"Yes, but if it _is_ eighty--then, I'll come out not a rejuvenated man, -but just a handful of dust." - -"Oh, that can't happen." - - * * * * * - -"Look at it this way." He paused a moment while taking in her youthful -appearance. "From now on I wouldn't look much older. Just a little -grayer and perhaps more stooped. Then, I'll have what's left of my -longevity plus the five years this rejuvenation would clip off." - -"Why, Howard, dear." Leah sounded shocked. "You don't know what you're -talking about. An aunt of mine elected that choice and it was perfectly -horrible. She drooled the last few years of her life and was helpless -as a baby." - -"Why didn't they use Euthanasia?" he asked. - -"The courts decided she wasn't capable of making a rational decision." - -He wiped his forehead. "That would be a long time off, darling. We'd -have so much time together in the next fifteen years." - -"But what would it be like if you were crippled with arthritis or some -other disease?" - -"You could divorce me if that happens." - -"I can also divorce you if you don't go through with rejuvenation. You -know it's the law." - -"You wouldn't do that." His face was more lined than ever. - -"Don't be silly, dear. Nobody gets old these days. Who would remain our -friends? Why, everywhere we'd go, people would point us out. Oh, no, -life wouldn't be livable." - -"That sounds like a cruel and calculating decision to me," Howard said. -"Either I take a chance on dying or you'll divorce me." - -"You have no right to make such an accusation. I married a young man -who said he was thirty years old. Six months later I discover he's -sixty-five. Now who's cruel and calculating?" - -"Please, darling, I didn't mean it. Look," he pleaded, "I'll even sign -permission for you to have a lover. There's that young fellow that's -always around. Maybe it's happened already." - -She stood back from him. "Howard, you're being perfectly nasty. Just -like an aged person you read about." - -"Five million dollars, and all of it yours when I die a natural death." -He put his hands in his pockets. - - * * * * * - -The street door opened just then and a young man came toward them with -a light springy step. - -He offered his hand to Howard who took it slowly. "How are you, -skipper? And you, Leah? I came as soon as I got your message." - -"He's worried, Mike." Leah's face had brightened. "And now he's -insisting on growing old." - -"I've been through the wringer twice before, you see," Howard said in a -low voice. - -"I don't think you have much to worry about," Mike said. "Those medics -know their business." - -"Aging is a nasty process." Leah wrinkled her nose as if she smelled -something offensive. "Maybe you can convince him, Mike." - -"Leah is right, you know," Mike said. "A few years ago I visited the -old age home. There's only one left. You'd be surprised at the amount -of suffering old people go through before they die; cancer, angina, -broken bones, strokes, arthritis. Rejuvenation won't work on extremely -old bodies. Longevity has run out." - -"Why does it have to clip off five years?" worried Howard. - -"It's the old-age governor they found in the pituitary gland. They can -turn it back, but the shock takes off about five years." - -"Oh, I know what's in the medical articles," Howard growled. "Remember, -I've been through here twice before. But the Sun was so warm this -morning. It was like seeing everything for the last time. I felt like -sitting down and letting everything drift." - -"That's a sure sign that you really need rejuvenating," said Leah. -"After it's over you'll be making me a golf widow again. Won't he, -Mike?" - -"Of course. He'll come out raring to go." - -Howard looked from Mike to Leah and back at Mike. Age was no match for -youth. If love hadn't started between them already, it would soon. - - * * * * * - -At the end of the long room, a door opened and two nurses entered, -starched and antiseptic. - -"Your room is ready, Mr. Kent," one nurse said. - -Howard shuddered. "Everything is so horribly familiar. The pill to -erase the worry, which doesn't work. The cart you ride on which makes -you feel like a carcass. The little bump as you enter the regeneration -room. Then you get a hypodermic and crawl into a long boiler tank." - -"You're just nervous, dear," said Leah. - -"A dismal, miasmic cloud settles on your mind and you decide you -wouldn't go through it again for anything in the world." - -Mike put his arm around Leah as if it were the most natural thing in -the world. "He'll be all right, my darling." - -Howard looked at them and then turned wearily to the nurse. "I'm ready." - -The nurse walked down the long room with the stooped man and -disappeared beyond the door. - -"Did you tell him about us?" asked Mike. - -"Of course not. What a man doesn't know won't hurt him." - -"Are you Mrs. Kent?" asked the other nurse who had remained behind. - -"Yes." - -"The doctor said to remind you that the fourth time is very dangerous," -the nurse said. "You'll have five years and six months without it. But -possibly only six months if it should be successful." - -"Better take the first offer, Leah," said Mike. - -Leah smiled. "I found a gray hair and a wrinkle this morning, love. -Better six months of youth than a thousand years of old age." - -She went into his arms. "Don't worry about what happens, love. You'll -have a lot of fun in the next seventy years." - -He kissed her and held her closely. - -"I've got to go now," she said. "I'm so grateful you were able to get -the forged birth certificate." - -Her high heels tapped rapidly on the tile floor as she walked down the -long room with the other nurse. - -"Good luck, Mother," he called after her. - - - - - -End of the Project Gutenberg EBook of Up For Renewal, by Lucius Daniel - -*** END OF THIS PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK UP FOR RENEWAL *** - -***** This file should be named 51035.txt or 51035.zip ***** -This and all associated files of various formats will be found in: - http://www.gutenberg.org/5/1/0/3/51035/ - -Produced by Greg Weeks, Mary Meehan and the Online -Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net - - -Updated editions will replace the previous one--the old editions will -be renamed. - -Creating the works from print editions not protected by U.S. copyright -law means that no one owns a United States copyright in these works, -so the Foundation (and you!) can copy and distribute it in the United -States without permission and without paying copyright -royalties.

To SEND -DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular -state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate - -While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we -have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition -against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who -approach us with offers to donate. - -International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make -any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from -outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. - -Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation -methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other -ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To -donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate - -Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works. - -Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project -Gutenberg-tm concept of a library of electronic works that could be -freely shared with anyone.
