There was money in cryonics bob there’s no point in freezing the entire body. Remember. The idea is to wait for advancements in medicine to be able to cure whatever killed you by the time they can resuscitate your corpse they’ll likely be able to grow. You a whole new body that would be easier in fact than trying to patch up the old one. That’S just insane enough to be true.

All right, kevin, i’m sold! I looked down at the papers. He’D set out in front of me, 10 000 deposit annual payments insurance kevin stood patiently, letting me scan the information without interruption. I might be drunk with my newfound wealth, but almost a decade as an engineer and a business owner. Wouldn’T let me do anything without checking all the documentation.

Finally, i was satisfied. I signed the paperwork, wrote a check and shook hands with kevin. You are now a client of cryo eterna inc. He said handing me a card. Keep this in your wallet at all times.

In case of death, we will be contacted once death has been pronounced. We will behead me yep and freeze your head pending medical advances, sufficient to bring you back.

Emblazoned on the front we’ll have the formal documents printed up and mailed to your home address and welcome to cryo eterna with that.

Well, what the hell? The sum the terrasoft was paying me for my software company ensured financial stability for the rest of my life and now beyond, not to mention a significant upgrade in my lifestyle. I’D been attending the vortex sf convention every year, since they first started up in las vegas, but this year i wasn’t part of the riff raff as i walked the two blocks from the cryo eternal offices to the convention.

Among other things, i’d also bought a pass for jenny and there it was i’d invoked. She who must not be named.

It took only moments to get myself under control.

Nothing like practice. I guess i was still having several panic attacks per day, but that was way down from just after the breakup. It’S like having a bad tooth. You keep poking at it with your tongue, even knowing that it’s going to hurt each time with a conscious act of will. I brought my thoughts back on track.

As one of the speakers. He was a popular and prolific science fiction, author and many of his story. Concepts had helped shape the modern genre. It took only a couple of minutes to get to the convention center and find the seminar rooms.

Conn staffers had already gotten the vips seated and were about to let everyone else enter. When i pulled up panting and waving my pass, the attendant motioned me in with no more than a glance he grinned at me happy to go along with the routine as long as me and my wallet continued to pay attention. Mr johansen, it’s bob! Please you’re! Not talking to my father, the cryo eterna sales rep, the name tag identified him as kevin nodded and gestured toward the big placard.
