In this dramatic screenplay that reads like a book, by the author of the novel The Piers of Yesteryear, The Cancer Man offers a reader the chance to envision the tension and setting for themselves, imagine a character's trauma and triumph, and experience a full-feature film in its purest infancy: the written word.After his untimely death, lab-tech Johnny Trube arrives on interstellar weigh-station Cloud Nine, a stop-over for the recently departed. There, he assumes the duty of Cancer Office Manager, a means of community-service he must fulfill to prove himself before continuing onto Heaven. Under strict and watchful scrutiny of the Nine, he will undertake many tasks, but none more affirming than reconciling the daughter he killed while trying to save her, or the disease that claimed them both.
