There was no doubt and no hope. Garrick had read the text three times. Eight hours ago, his greatest wish had come to fruition. Now in less than sixteen hours he would turn back to stone with no way of ever bringing him back again.

The Transfero Vita had been plain. Unless the reanimation was completed within twenty-four hours of his initial freedom from the stone, he would be lost forever to the marble. He’d endured centuries of solitude without descending into insanity. Sometimes the fall had seemed so close, so easy to slide into.

He pushed away from the desk and strode across the room to stand over Mara as she slept on the sofa. Unconscious. So vulnerable. Her skin was pale, translucent porcelain after her blood loss. The blood that had brought him life, if only for a short time.

He would have no lifetime to live with her. No possibility of family and children. No chance at a future. Love. None of those would be possible now. He could not have her, and loving her would only make the torment of the coming endless centuries of imprisonment more intolerable.

The unfairness of it spurred a rage in Garrick. Pacing the room, he found no relief from his angry thoughts. Suddenly, he could not bear to inhabit the same room with Mara. He stormed from the director’s office back to the exhibition gallery where the slab awaited him.
