Overview

"Longevity" by Therese Windser is a morality tale presented in a science fiction format, published during the early 1960s. The story unfolds in a post-apocalyptic world where remnants of civilization and a lost continent offer a glimpse into humanity's past, examining themes of hope, discovery, and the consequences of a forgotten legacy. In the narrative, Captain Hinrik and his crew aboard the Semilunis embark on an expedition to find the fabled west continent, believed to have sunk after a cataclysmic event termed the Great Horror. Despite their long and perilous journey, the scouts encounter a desolate landscape devoid of life, filled with dangers like luminescent areas. Their exploration leads them to a mysterious cave filled with enigmatic black edifices, remnants of a lost civilization. Here, they decipher ancient markings that point to a vault, hinting at the once vibrant life that existed on the west continent. The story concludes with a sense of loss for what was, encapsulating the moral undertones of humanity's downfall and the enduring quest for understanding.
