For those who have not read the first part of this saga, here's a quick summation: Whether you are a man or a woman and have lived with someone for a long time, and then that person dies as a result of a terminal illness, life can be depressing and lonely. Tradition suggests that most men die before their wives, but in these days of an increasing number of b...
This is a continuous story. In order to understand it fully it is best to read it in it's entirety, starting with Chapter 1. Chapter 01 - The Experiment Josh felt a distant itching at the back of his head. Slowly he began to open his eyes and became aware of his surroundings. There was one person standing beside him who he recognized as Dr. Mark Edwards. J...

Jon was hungry. He could scarcely believe that it had come to this. After years in the military he had entered college but through some loopholes he found himself without any financial aid. His income while in the military had been high enough that he did not qualify for much assistance. He had just been laid off from a high paying part-time job and the best...
"My God, what's he doing?" Riker reached out to touch Data's shoulder, and an intense flare of light momentarily blinded everyone in the hall outside the Computer Main Core Access. There was a thump, and when Picard's vision cleared he saw his first officer laying on the corridor floor, a grimace of pain on his chiseled features. Picard and Riker had been r...
Humans had been exploring space for years. Think of the fantastical achievements - sending rockets with computing equipment designed to last decades, on an endless trajectory. There are photos of distant planets and asteroids. Landing humans on the moon and having humans live for months on end in a space station. But until that point, no one had ever achieve...
Women generally live longer than men, but that is not always true. "The Sunshine Boys"—as we had called ourselves in a joking manner—was composed of four men, all over the age of 65 and all of whom had lost their wives in the past ten years or so, most from things like breast cancer, leukemia, etc. Living in the same neighborhood in northern New Jersey, we a...
I arrived at the clinic around 9 am, knowing that over the next 36 hours I would experience some of the most intense and bizarre pleasure of my life. The clinic looked like any other small medical centre; for the most part it was quite normal.

An unorthodox experiment into sexual response concludes the trilogy. An hour later, showered and in a crisp clean uniform, Amy reported to Gooding's office. "I'm currently engaged in cutting edge psychosexual research, which could enhance the international profile of this clinic," he began, with customary self-importance. "Psychosexual?" she said warily...
