Do You Dream of Electronic Sheep?



So many dream about being a werewolf or a vampire... Do you? And why or why not? You would be able to punch a car and feel no pain. Hell, you would be able to pick that car up and play volley ball with a couple of friends. The Supernatural are sleek, sexy, and eternal. Everything we wish to be. Even the wealthiest of us manage to achieve this for only a short period, and the rest of us manage only the briefest moments. It all ends. In a thousand years, all that will be left of today's sleek and sexy will be Micheal Jackson's nose and Pamela Anderson's breast implants.


But, does it have to be that way? Do we have to grow old, lose mental and physical acuity, and die? Used to be, we had to heave a sigh, and accept... Fate.

Now, I'm not implying we can overcome death, at least not permanently. Medical technology is advancing quickly, moving in the general direction of increasing longevity and bettering our quality of life. Even cosmetic surgery, of which I earlier made light, is allowing us to look how we want, longer(quality of life).

What if you could look how you wish?

What if you could live as long as you wish?

What if you could ride the Night Eternal on Wings of Shadow?

What if?
