When the wife of committed atheist Kurt Doyle emerges from a state of cryonic suspension, he is filled with joy. Not only is he re-united with the love of his life, but he regards her as nothing less than living proof that his beliefs are true. His wife's spirit did not fly off to heaven, hell, or anywhere in between, only to be wrenched back into her body at the precise moment that medical science found a cure for her illness. She died, and remained dead, until science undid her death. And to put the matter beyond all argument, her own testimony bears out the fact that during her time in suspension she experienced nothing. That is what she tells Kurt. And he is happy to hear it, for Kurt Doyle hates God, and cannot even tolerate the thought that He might exist. And he is pleased that his wife once again joins him in this belief that there is nothing out there worthy of worship; no benevolent Creator, no Father, no Son, no Holy Ghost. Just us humans, floating around on a speck of dust in an infinite void of dark, mindless space that stretches out forever, leads to nowhere, and means nothing. And he feels vindicated that his wife, back from the dead, still feels the same way.At least that's how it seems. But it soon becomes evident that there's something Susan is not telling her husband. Turns out, those years of death weren't so quiet after all. And that's the very last thing Kurt Doyle wants to hear.
