    Summary

    "My 100th earth birthday—my age if I’d never experienced time dilation—is coming up in a few months and Rocky is very excited about it. It’s touching how special he wants to make this human milestone for me and I wish I could be excited with him. Instead, I’m sitting with the knowledge that this is probably my last birthday…and I have no idea how to tell Rocky."

    Grace and Rocky discuss Grace's mortality as his 100th earth birthday approaches.

    Summary

    'Rocky, do you remember the expected, average human lifespan?'

    I ask it conversationally but Rocky freezes in place all the same.

    'No,' he states.

    'No?'

    'Yes, Rocky remembers. No, do not want to talk about this.'

    I lean back and fold my arms.

    'Rock…'

    'Grace. No. Bad bad bad.'


    Dr Ryland Grace is an old man. Dr Ryland Grace knows what he wants to happen when the time comes. Rocky doesn't want to talk about it.

    Summary


    “Think of it in this way: suppose I make two statements. Statement one: “After I die, I shall be reborn as a baby… but I shall forget my former life.” Statement two: “After I die… a baby will be born.” Now, I believe that those two statements are saying exactly the same thing.”

    —Alan Watts

    Summary

    “You sleep, I’ll watch.” 

    We both know that they are not going to sleep. We both know that the moment they go still, they will be dead. And I will be alone. But I won’t say that, and they won’t say that, even if it’s the truth. 

    “You…save Erid,” they say. 

    Not a question. 

    I will be the last Eridian on our ship. I will be the last hope. 

    Or I will die. Just like every other Eridian has died here, and will eventually die on Erid, because we failed.  

    I shift low, close to where my last friend lays. “You sleep, I will watch,” I tell them again. 

    And they go to sleep. 

    And they never wake up again. 

    Rocky loses everyone on his crew.

    Years later, he meets an alien.
