Until Life Do Us Part: When Immortality Isn’t Enough

In a future where death has been solved and life stretches endlessly forward, humanity has learned to value restraint above all else. Passion is treated as a dangerous relic, romance as an instability best avoided. Yet beneath the surface of calm, carefully regulated lives, the old human emotions have not disappeared — they’ve merely learned to wait.

When a rare opportunity for motherhood stirs long-suppressed feelings, one man finds himself confronting something his civilization insists no longer exists: genuine love. What begins as concern slowly transforms into obsession, forcing him to question whether immortality has truly perfected humanity or simply postponed its most destructive impulses. As jealousy and desire resurface, the story probes the terrifying idea that emotional limits may matter more than physical ones.

Until Life Do Us Part is a sharply focused exploration of love, control, and the price of living forever. Winston Marks crafts a tense psychological drama where every decision carries weight, and where the greatest threat is not death itself, but the emotions society has tried so hard to erase. Elegant, unsettling, and quietly devastating, this is vintage science fiction at its most intimate and unsettling.

Winston Marks was known for his ability to combine speculative ideas with deeply human conflicts. His stories frequently examine social systems pushed to logical extremes, revealing the emotional fractures beneath their polished surfaces. In this tale, Marks delivers a haunting meditation on immortality, jealousy, and the fragile balance required to keep civilization intact.
