| Summary |
|---|
| A Gil the ARM story. When the First Freezer Bill was passed, "Corpsicles" (hopefuls who had themselves frozen in the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries) lacking funds or investments to support themselves were being thawed and dumped straight into the organ banks for parts. With a second Freezer bill pending, this time to dispose of those remaining Corpiscles (those with money), the Corpsicle heirs are generating much attention in the press—and from potential kidnappers. |
