Frank Rogers, a centenarian, entered a clinic for his weekly rejuvenation—to stop from ''aging.''


    A disease cured by nanotech blood transfusions—repairing, rebuilding, and replacing cells and organs.


    "Good morning, Mr. Rogers," said the nurse. "Are you ready? Oh, wait … It looks like you''re on the ''Do Not Rejuvenate List.''


    Stolen from Royal Road, this story should be reported if encountered on Amazon.


    "What the hell? Does it say why?"


    "In fact, it does, Mr. Rogers. According to the ''Anti-NIMBY Mandate,'' you''ve been found guilty of violating the Social Progress Order by attempting to sabotage cultural and technological change. It says for further inquiry, you should speak to a geriatrics attorney."
