right place - part 2

fiction
edward w pritchard

Bill the manager over at the market grille had leukemia and was dieing. Home alone, he painfully made his way through his house and outside onto his deck and was looking up at the stars at about midnight. He was imagining and planning where his self might go after his body died in a few days. Bill had been a medic in the army and knew by the look of death he saw in his eyes, that death would soon take his body.

Bill was not educated in science or cosmology but had got very motivated to find a star or maybe a planet where his undieing part might go. He desperately was looking for the right place to be after the destruction of his body. Looking at the calm bright night sky it was reassuring to Bill to think there was a right place for him to be soon after his tired sick body ceased to be.
