Author’s Nostrum
Earth 2040. The world is now a different place, nor utopian or dystopian, but median. A new age blend of prosperity and destitution. Nearly five years ago in the year 2035 life started falling off the face of the earth at an alarmingly exponential rate. With the vast growth of technology and the mysterious evolution of matter a group of researchers from the United Kingdom created a biological elixir known as Author’s Nostrum. It’s purpose is to restore ailing health by hooking its patients up to an I.V. powered by Microsoft Industries. While the patient is hooked up to the I.V. which is hooked up to a Nostrum Generator a writer with a laptop, tablet or iPad hooked into the generator writes life into the ailing patient by means of a story. A hidden advantage of this new elixir is that it not only saves lives, but also carries the hidden potential to extend life spans.
