the year is 2071. ben is 90 years old
frivISMS (friv inter-stellar messanger service) is a global power in this niche industry. ben's body is naturally strong, despite his synthetic teeth. while he has a permanent home on mars, his great-grandson is plying his messenger/interplanetary freight trade, so he can focus on more frivolous pursuits. he has had one great love in his life, a love that has provided one illigitimate offspring, with his great-grandson providing reconcilliation. now, in year 90, he has finally met the mirror image of his long lost love, the love he lost in year 2014 at year 33. yet she is in her 30's, and he in his 90's. with medical advances as they are, he has a chance at living several more years, at the expense of his original failing internal organs. where do we go from here? a chance for love he had forgotten over half-century ago is in his grasp, if only he sacrifices half of what makes him human.
