Touchless

by Russell Davis

For seven years, Drake Avery has waited for his wife's resurrection. Seven years! Seven years ago she died in a horrific car accident, an accident too terrible for our medicine to mend. And for the last seven years she has slept in cryogenic freeze, her husband waiting for the miracles of medicine to return her to his arms. Approached with the possibility of having her restored using virtual reality, Drake must make a horrible decision: bring Riana back virtually, for one day, knowing that she cannot be re-frozen, that she'll die forever . . . or do nothing, and hope he lives long enough to see her once again.
