Publisher's Synopsis
Nobody knew what to think when thousands of people were cubed one evening. They were going about their normal business when this cube came out of the ground and encased them. The walls of the cube were impenetrable. There was no way to rescue the people who were entrapped. What is more interesting, the people who were entrapped did not even want to be rescued for from the moment they were encased in this liquid environment, their lives always changed for the better. Friends, family members, acquaintances who may have disappeared or died, suddenly came back into their lives. Those in the cube never got sick. Death was conquered. Accidents ceased to be a problem. If a person were about to get into an accident that might cause loss of life, they were cubed. The sick was mending all over the world. It was the fountain of youth. At first, they were cubed for 24 hours, but as the cubings became more and more numerous the time span the cubes were visible decreased. After being present for a few hours or minutes, the cubes simply disappeared from off the face of the world. They came for the older people first. Then it was several animals and birds. Those left behind could not find any answers to this problem.
Finally, someone discovered if you did not want to be cubed, you only need to say "No, No, No." It was that simple. For the cubed it was like going to a world that was at peace with itself.
