The Death of Immortality Kindle Edition

by Sky King (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.4 out of 5 stars (8)
I’m not Methuselah’s kid. I wasn’t there for the birth of the Child in the manger and then for World War two. I wasn’t with the robots when the sun came up either. And I certainly wasn’t cutting off anyone’s head in the highlands, having any part of the weapon shop that caused the big bang, being born as a Star Child, or spending one thousand years chanting in Sanskrit. Sorry! I did see Nikita Khrushchev bang his shoe on a podium and say, “We will bury you.” I was there before Eisenhower’s interstate highway system was finished and heard the news the day the music died. I was also there when the Institute for Immortality Research found that I was the one candidate genetically suited to be “fixed” so that I could live for five thousand years. I said no. Why would I want to outlive everyone I cared about, go on and on like reruns of Friends? One million dollars? The companionship of a lovely, intelligent red head? No and no again. I might wind up like Tithonus and I already felt like Sisyphus. So, you say I’m crazy: a million dollars; a lovely red head? Try black government site, need to know and who trusts the US government? Most likely I’d be “harvested” and kept in a cage. Unfortunately, both figuratively and literally, choice is an illusion. Or as my friend Ray said, “What the fuck don’t you get about becoming practically immortal?” That was just before he and Chloe betrayed me, and I had to run. Run Eric, run!

Sky King is a writer, teacher, father, husband, and grandfather. A child of the nineteen sixties, he ran wild in his free time but was bound tight at the Catholic school he attended. This dichotomy spawned a vibrant imagination and expansive sense of humor. Achieving a bachelor’s degree in writing and a master’s in education he went on to work with the cognitively disabled for most of his life. Taking a few years off to write while his daughter was small, he wrote Deep Time, and The Dead Wife. He currently works as a special education teacher taking his summers to write, edit and e-publish his books. He is a fan of fantasy and science fiction novels, as well as stories of mystics from history. He enjoys stories with emotional authenticity and aims to create this in his own writing. As an avid reader, the stories shared here are those that he feels he would be excited to find while looking for a new read. We hope that you will be equally as excited to find these stories as we are to present them.

    Sky has another great book. I hope this one will have a sequel, possibly the first in a trilogy. The end of the book makes it feel like this is only the beginning of the journey

    "The Death of Immortality" is an exciting story about a guy named Eric who faces a tough choice about living forever. He says no because he doesn't want to outlive his loved ones. The story has lots of interesting historical facts and surprises. It's a great read for anyone who likes thrilling adventures.
