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?
