Synopsis
First published in the magazine Vision of Tomorrow, December 1969.
The story is set in an old age home, one of many Clinics throughout the country in which people are kept weak except for Year Day, the one day a year where they are revived by drugs and mechanical and physical therapy and made up and dressed in colorful clothes so that they can participate in a Carnival-like today with lots of drink, food, and sex. Most of them die and will shortly be replaced by a new group. The few who survive will spend the next year cared for in the Clinic until the next Year Day until they finally die at one.
