“If you are lucky, when you are young, death is a hypothetical situation. One that happens only to pets and the satisfied elderly. I am lucky in this way for so long. Then, one of my best friends is diagnosed with a rare Stage IV cancer in the middle of a pandemic. Then, my mother is diagnosed with a just as rare terminal brain disease. In the middle of it all, I write a book about a woman who cannot age or die.” - The Fountain author Spruceton Inn / Casey Scieszka in Oldster Magazine.
