When I Sixty Four 소설 & 이야기

Fiona shoved Ryker in, and I trailed after them. Six years had passed. So much had changed. The sea of roses at the villa entrance had long been torn out.

I looked out the window at the December afternoon.

He didn’t look more than forty at most. “I don’t look it, do I?” I shook my head as the corners of his mouth twitched upwards. “New technology has ensured that most humans now live far, far longer than previously possible. I’m hoping to celebrate my six-hundred and sixty-sixth birthday before I leave this world for good.” The smile broadened for just a moment, and then it was gone, his face serious once more. “So, you see, my dear.

I watched myself closely and compared my eighty six year old to when I was still twenty five. I was already old and honestly, I had the best time of my life.
