A Time for Dying
“I could remember a time when hardly anyone lived that long, and those who did were often in pretty bad shape by the time they finally let go. I’d thought about turning around and spending my last few hours with Brenda, the way we’d planned. Dinner at our favorite restaurant, champagne, nice hotel room with a view of the river. We would make love one last time, and then we would hold each other until the end. I would insist that she remarry, and she would lie and say that there would never be another.Or maybe it wouldn’t be a lie. Maybe she would believe the words as she said them, but there would be others, at least one more, and that was how it should be. Our baby girl should have someone to call daddy, even if it wasn’t me.We’d had it all planned, but something happened to me when Chairman L made the big announcement last night. One hundred years was not enough. I wanted more. I wanted every minute I could possible grab, every second. I’d been such an idiot, thinking that an hour wo...uldn’t matter.MoreLess
