AMEN: The Cost of Miracles
Synopsis
On an ordinary afternoon, a mysterious being grants software engineer Elias Kairo a single wish.
Trying to free humanity from the curse of death and the obsession with immortality, Elias wishes that every human being should have a fixed lifespan of exactly 120 years—no exceptions, no extensions.
The wish is granted.
Days later, another impossible law silently takes effect.
Whenever anyone sincerely prays and says "Amen," the prayer is fulfilled.
But the universe demands payment.
The amount of time that miracle would naturally have taken is deducted from the person's remaining lifespan.
Healing cancer may cost fifteen years.
Finding true love overnight may cost seven.
Stopping a war may cost thousands of lives through those willing to pray.
Soon the world abandons money as its greatest resource.
Time becomes everything.
