Sentenced to Life

Sentenced to Life is a story focusing on and amplifying the scenario of "Coming back from the brink" as we watch a manmade creation, once considered an abomination, created using the real life personality of a man named Daniel Page attempt to end his own existence after watching too many people he loved grow old and die. Being found and revived by another of his "kind", Danny finds a new lease on life and a new family to share that life with. Will it be enough to give him a reason to stay?

Foreword & Dedications

This story is a work of fiction in an alternate universe with the sole purpose of portraying in an amplified sense of feeling obsolete when those you care about and watched over grow up, spread their wings, and fly on their own. It was originally inspired to memorialize a friendship to someone who adopted me as an "Uncle" and over the years mades me more proud than I ever thought possible. His daily presence is certainly missed, which at times does in fact hurt. Just knowing that my being a strong fixture in his life at a time when he chose me to look up to and learn from, makes it easier to deal with, but no less missed.

A special thanks go out to my family and friends for their support and help throughout the years while writing this story. Without you all, I would really have had no need or desire to write it at all. Even better, many of those who have become my family over the years (and they know who they are) are also the ones I have taken under my wing in the past. Knowing how my just “Being there” for them when they needed someone, and now considering the adults they have become or are becoming, fills me with a pride that was unmatched then and today is bitter sweet.

Lastly, (and certainly not least) I owe a huge amount of thanks and gratitude to my "Family" in our online family. On a daily basis they have encouraged me to continue on with my writing and complete something that I was beginning to consider "un-finishable". August Christopher for giving me a second home for my work, ACfan & Akeentia for working with me every step of the way building a new home for my ramblings and a universe for it all to reside to this day, and The Story Lover and Darryl aka. The Radio Rancher for helping to keep the story on track and readable. I love you all, and could never thank you enough!
