Chapter Ten
"She seems to be quite taken with you," said Janet as she and Daniel watched Mitchell walk slowly from the room.
"She's come a long way," said Daniel a tight expression on his face.
"I know people who've said the same thing about you."
"The more things change…," said Daniel with a shrug.
"You think you've changed?" she asked.
"We've all changed," said Daniel.
"For the better?"
"For the mature." Daniel sighed, "I am proud of what I've accomplished here, Janet, don't get me wrong, my contributions to this program have run the gamut, but I know I have done some good, sometimes. That's not the point."
"What is the point?"
"The point is I've done this, I've lived. I've lived I've died, I've done what most people only do once and yet I keep coming back."
"Maybe you keep coming back for a reason."
"There are no reasons anymore, I'm tired."
"So that's it? You're tired?"
"Yep."
"So if you're so tired of life and want to be dead, I have just one question for you."
"What's that?"
"Why aren't you dead?"
Shh, be very very quiet and we might be able to catch sight of that rare but wonderful, creature known in the wild only as the double post, wait I think I see it! Let's watch!
Cynic :-D
