Sneak peek for my Once and Future Henry Morgan fic:
“You know, I was thinking about that sir,” George said, as they walked back towards the station. “What if the man is an immortal? That would explain why he looked the same yesterday as he did thirty years ago.”
William sighed, wishing George had never heard about this. “George, there are no such things as immortals. It was probably a relative or someone who just looked like him. And Henry Morgan isn’t an uncommon name, either.”
“Yes, sir,” George said, sounding unconvinced. “But that really would be quite the coincidence, wouldn’t it? Two Henry Morgans thirty years of each other who look exactly alike?”
“And you think Dr. Morgan being an immortal is more likely than the idea of two men who look alike?” William asked, turning to look at George. “It was over thirty years ago. My memory of the encounter could be unreliable.”
George nodded. “I do, sir. I believe that there are immortals walking among us, right now.”
“How did they become that way, George? People can’t just live forever.”
George paused, thinking for a moment. “I haven’t figured that part out yet, sir, but that doesn’t mean it’s not true.”
