It is mildly disturbing to me, that you will one day be able to sum up the entirety of my life in a sentence. If I really try, I may end up with as much as a paragraph in a history book a thousand years from now.

OR you could be immortalized at length in another genre of publication… fiction….poetry, non-fiction— whatever you want to write. So the truth that I see is that it depends on what perspective is taken whether or not you’ll be remembered for thousands of pages, or short blurbs. I reckon that wherever you are out of place a short blurb exists, BUT wherever you fit so does every last word of who you are and what you mean, and how you think, is written out in full— all based upon “if you really try” like you said.

Interesting concept. I like how the title and story go with each other.

Or we will all live on and on in the next life.

You never know…until you’re dead of course.

Reminds me of that one Hemingway story. The subtext that has to be read into those words has a substantial gravity to it.

Great opening. Begs the question what did indeed happen? Nice hook.

Makes me think of Genesis and Revelation. Well done.
