Résumé

Living to 100 years of age is a cakewalk, if you don't mind being murdered.(Note: "Old Man's Curse" is a short story. It is also available in the author's 10-story collection, Daggyland #1.)This short story first appeared in Alfred Hitchcock's Mystery Magazine under the title "Scintilla."In the tense days before World War II, a charismatic old man offers a boy a chance to survive anything-sickness, war, famine-and live to a ripe old age.
If he does one little thing, the boy is guaranteed to live a hundred years, easy. There's just one catch:When his time's up, he'll be murdered. What would you do?* * *"D'Agnese writes the most unusual and interesting books." -Bookviews
