...stage will come to life in mere hours, but it already shows hints of 15th-century England. Cocoa-shell mulch that crunches underfoot covers the stage floor. Three huge rocks--actually large chunks of styrofoam--lie on a large platform beside the main part of the stage. A curved and seemingly rickety ramp meanders its way from a height of about 10 feet down to the stage...

It arrives in a large styrofoam box, bathed in preservative inside a plastic bag--surprisingly mundane packaging for a gift of life. It is after 11 p.m. when Tuttle removes Hunter's shriveled liver and begins the delicate work of suturing all the various vessels and ducts from the new liver into Hunter's system.
