Second Childhood: When Eternity Grows Old, Childhood Begins Again

"Second Childhood by Clifford D. Simak - Achieving immortality is only half of the problem. The other half is knowing how to live with it once it's been made possible—and inescapable! You did not die. There was no normal way to die. You lived as carelessly and as recklessly as you could and you hoped that you would be lucky and be accidentally killed. You kept on living and you got tired of living. 'God, how tired a man can get of living!' Andrew Young said. John Riggs, chairman of the immortality commission, cleared his throat. 'You realize,' he said to Andrew Young, 'that this petition is a highly irregular procedure to bring to our attention.' He picked up the sheaf of papers off the table and ruffled through them rapidly. 'There is no precedent,' he added. 'I had hoped,' said Andrew Young, 'to establish precedent.' Commissioner Stanford said, 'I must admit that you have made a good case, Ancestor Young. Yet you must realize that this commission has no possible jurisdiction over the life of any person, except to see that everyone is assured of all the benefits of immortality and to work out any kinks that may show up.' 'I am well aware of that,' answered Young, 'and it seems to me that my case is one of the kinks you mention.' He stood silently, watching the faces of the members of the board. They are afraid, he thought. Every one of them. Afraid of the day they will face the thing I am facing now. They have sought an answer and there is no answer yet except the pitifully basic answer, the brutally fundamental answer that I have given them. 'My request is simple,' he told them, calmly. 'I have asked for permission to discontinue life.'"

The Wall Of Darkness

"The Wall Of Darkness by Arthur C. Clarke - Ages ago the First Dynasty had walled up half the planet, and left no hint of their terrible reason... Only Shervane dared to surmount that mile-high barrier, and learn the mind-shattering truth that lay beyond. Many and strange are the universes that drift like bubbles in the foam upon the river of time. Some–a very few–move against or athwart its current; and fewer still are those that lie forever beyond its reach, knowing nothing of the future or the past."

Danger on the Stage

"Could the race to solve a mysterious on-stage accident spell curtains for Sam, Derek, and Caitlin? When the brothers join Caitlin and her parents on a weekend trip to the southwest Virginia town of Abingdon, they can’t wait to watch their favorite actor perform at the historic Barter Theatre. But in the middle of a performance of Red Riding Hood, something goes terribly wrong. When the theater is shut down, the kids must get to the bottom of a sinister plot. What’s the connection to the threatening letters? Was it the ghost of Robert Porterfield, who opened the Barter back in 1933 when he offered shows to local patrons in exchange for produce? Is the Martha Washington Inn, the Civil War–era hotel across the street, really haunted? Do wolves still roam The Virginia Creeper Trail, where Daniel Boone’s hunting party was attacked in 1760? Secrets from the past are hiding just off stage in the shadows. Can the kids uncover the truth before the theater’s final act, or will their names be next on the hit list? Danger on the Stage is the eleventh book in The Virginia Mysteries series, but it can easily be read as a standalone. The story is the perfect complement to social studies units, field trips, and family vacations related to southwest Virginia, early American pioneer Daniel Boone, The Virginia Creeper and Appalachian Trails, theater, trains, forestry, and more.
