The Curse of Life. Content Warning.
"What do we say to the Lord of Death? 'Not today.'" - George R.R. Martin It was the quote that inspired Thea to find a way to 'beat' death, at least in a manner of speaking. She spent years recruiting willing participants to test her science and theories. Generally, the recruits were persons already nearing a visit from death, whether it be from age or illness. Their fear of dying made them willing participants, even though they knew it was a long shot... still that minuscule chance of it working kept them signing up despite failure after failure. Thea had become obsessed with breaking the curse of living, which was the inevitable reality of death lingering over everything. Her fear of death kept her from truly living life, as it did for many people as mortality weighed on their shoulders. This inspired her to seek a way to stop death... no matter the cost.

Rich people have been trying not to die for as long as they have been sure that they can take their wealth with them; not just to sultry, sparkling resorts or virginal, green islands or even distant, lifeless worlds. They think they can take it to meet death, if it ever comes to that.

The Truth About Intermittent Fasting: Does It Really Work? What exactly is a intermittent fast? Intermittent fasting (IF) is not a traditional diet plan but rather an eating pattern that alternates between periods of eating and fasting.
