Who Wants To Live Forever

I was nearly 80 when they finally perfected reading a mind into the machine.

It was an accident that I could afford to do so.

There were too many memories attached to the three properties that'd kept me from selling for so many years after everyone else had passed on.

Winning the genetic lottery means that you will outlive everyone you know.

It's not fun.

But old age is not for sissies.

I am finding that immortality is much harder than being old.
