Robert F. Young, “Uma bebida das trevas” , em Mundos de Robert F. Young .
In this story an alcoholic named Chris meets a gaunt man who takes him to a back alley bar and buys him a drink. The drink renders Chris unconscious. When he comes to, he and the gaunt man are walking down a corridor lit by stars, heading toward a shining mountain. On either side of the corridor are doors where Chris revisits moments from his past. When they reach the mountain, the man tells him he has the opportunity to relive a pivotal moment of his life, and if he does it differently and correctly, his life will be extended. Chris chooses the key moment and he succeeds in changing his past. Then the gaunt man resolves once again to try his hand at changing his own crucial moment. He finds himself in a temple with the high priest who hands him a leather bag containing 30 pieces of silver. He agrees to point out the One they’re looking for by giving Him a kiss.
