The Dueling Machine

Once a barbaric custom that could only end in blood thanks to the brilliant theoretical work of Dr. Leah that culminated in the "dueling machine", it become a civilized and therapeutic means of settling affairs of honor. Two antagonists would share the same dream of violence until one of them was dead. Then winner and loser would leave the machine in perfect health and harmony. Until one day a stranger began to make enemies---important enemies---and his enemies left the machine "dead". It seemed impossible...and it was only the beginning.
