Summary
There are several mechanical means, like the movie films and phonograph records, to preserve youthful charms or a gorgeous voice or expressions of brilliant minds, but there is no growth, or even variation. What if some scientist should discover the secret of indefinite prolongation of life and a young body? Off-hand such a discovery would seem to be a boon to humanity. But is it? Today's story is "The Mordant", by Merab Eberle. It appeared in the March 1930 issue of "Amazing Stories" on pages 1,181 to 1,185. ----- Merab Shipley Eberle (February 2, 1891, Mattoon, Illinois, U.S. – October 31, 1959, Dayton, Ohio, U.S.) was an American journalist and a writer in several genres, including science fiction and children's plays. She was a member of the Dayton Women's Club and the Ohio Newspaper Women's Association. From 1930 to 1959, she was a reporter, arts editor and book reviewer for The Dayton Journal Herald. ----- If there's a story you'd like me to narrate, or a genre you'd like me to include more of, please let me know at [email protected] . ----- Music: "Mesmerizing Galaxy" Kevin MacLeod ( incompetech.com ).
