UNTIL LIFE DO US PART

Episode #267 · Written by Winston Marks · Narrated by Scott Miller

In a future where humanity has conquered death, survival is no longer the greatest challenge. Emotional restraint has become the cornerstone of civilization, carefully cultivated to preserve stability in a world without endings.

But even in a society built on patience and control, old human instincts linger. When love resurfaces where it is least welcome, it threatens to expose the fragile foundations beneath centuries of enforced calm. What begins as affection quietly evolves into something far more dangerous.

Until Life Do Us Part is a tightly wound psychological drama that explores jealousy, desire, and the cost of emotional suppression. Winston Marks examines whether immortality has elevated humanity — or simply given it more time to make catastrophic mistakes.

Rather than focusing on grand technology or distant worlds, this story turns inward, confronting the uncomfortable truth that some emotions cannot be engineered away. It is a thoughtful, unsettling meditation on love’s power in a world that believes it has outgrown such things.
