I totally didn't forget about this story. Not really, anyways. Plus, the last chapter could have been accepted as an ending. But, in the spirit of not writing a 2-3 page essay that's due tomorrow, I thought I'd post an ending, anyways. Share your final thoughts with me?
How It Ended
He got what he wanted, really.
He found the world where he belonged, his purpose, and he had his friends. Well, when they decided to visit, anyways.
He even found someone who he was considering settling down with, although he would never admit that to anyone back home. Just thinking of the damage that would do to his reputation made him shudder.
His friends, always loyal, would stop by whenever they were in the area. Although, considering the vastness of space, 'in the area' was relative.
It was his life, though, and, for once, he was completely happy with it.
