Walter Jameson is a history professor in an American college.\u00a0 He is engaged to Susanna Kittredge, the daughter of another professor in the Chemistry department.\u00a0 Professor Kittridge suspects that Jameson is older than his alleged age and after researching a Civil War photo of a man that Jameson quoted in his lectures Kittridge discovers that Jameson was the Civil War officer.\u00a0 Kittridge convinces Jameson to tell his story.\u00a0 Jameson was an ancient Greek and he feared death so he paid an \u201calchemist\u201d to give him eternal life.\u00a0 It worked but over time he realized that seeing his family age and die was a terrible thing.\u00a0 And the pattern repeated itself over thousands of years.\u00a0 Kittridge forbids Jameson from marrying his daughter but Susanna defies him and they plan to elope that night.<\/p>\n
When Jameson gets home, he is confronted by an old, old woman who was one of his former wives.\u00a0 She found him through the engagement announcement and is determined to stop him from destroying another woman\u2019s life.\u00a0 She sees a revolver on his desk and shoots him.\u00a0 When Kittridge hears the shot, he comes across the street and finds Jameson dying and already aging at an enormously accelerated rate.\u00a0 When Susanna runs across to the house all that\u2019s left of Jameson is his clothes and dust.<\/p>\n
The story of the deathless man is classic.\u00a0 Even in the 1960s the concept ended up in a Star Trek episode.\u00a0 This one\u2019s okay.\u00a0 I\u2019ll call it a B.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
