Now Drink

Ms. Akoto, this is the drink that will let you travel into the future. Haha, right—so do most alcoholic drinks. But as soon as I administer this medicine, you’ll fall asleep for approximately 10 to 12 years. Again, you won’t age—only everyone around you. But with the rate your cancer is metastasizing, this is the only way to guarantee you’ll live long enough to see your children graduate, perhaps even marry. It’s no cure; it’s a life extension—really, a death delay. I’ll leave you alone to say goodbye to your kids for now, and to your husband for...well, to say goodbye.
