The cover story features Cassie, an 80 year old woman who wants a job. The guy giving the interview is out of this world.  He's offering fantastic health benefits, as in the Fountain of Youth. But still, the cost may be too high. 

Another story contemplates that the fate of nations may hang by the sharp edge of a knife forged long ago for an assassin.  Or maybe not. 

In true science fiction fashion, a short read asks, If you had it to do over again, could you swallow your pride and ask for help or would the cost be too high?  Why make war?  We can do it all by computer.  But then again, what will the computers want for the dirty deeds? 

A final selection features four old vets and a kid, hanging around the bar's TV, watching the wall come down.  Is it the end of nightmares, or the beginning?
