Living Forever: A Blessing or a Curse?
Imagine watching everyone you love grow old and die while you remain frozen in time. This is Tom Hazard's reality. Born in 1581, Tom appears to be an ordinary 41-year-old history teacher in contemporary London, but he's actually over 400 years old. He suffers from a rare condition called "anageria" that causes him to age fifteen times slower than normal humans. While this might sound like a fantasy, for Tom it's a prison of memories and losses that has left him emotionally detached and perpetually lonely. "I am old-that's the main thing to tell you," Tom confesses early in his narrative. This isn't immortality-his body still deteriorates, just much more slowly. His hair eventually grays, his eyesight gradually fails, and arthritis slowly develops. The psychological toll is devastating. Tom suffers from persistent headaches that are "less a headache than a memory ache, a life ache." These pains intensify when memories from different centuries collide in his mind. What makes Tom's burden particularly poignant is his self-imposed rule against forming attachments. "The first rule is that you don't fall in love," he reminds himself repeatedly. Having loved and lost too many times, he has concluded that "the sadness of the memories weighed more and lasted longer than the moments of happiness themselves."
