| senior person to me, sir," I answered.
"This ain't the military or a major organization." "I know, sir." "Fine," another sigh, "Your lesson starts now. Get one of your staffs -good choice. Now, to do the trick you..." He talked, for what seemed liked hours. About how it really works, other applications than sleep -like erasing memories, and how to apply enough mental force throughout the maneuver to do it all. "Remember you can also use it to erase emotions. This is useful in stopping wars. If someone hates someone then erase their hatred. You may teach these things to whoever you feel will use it responsibly. The only things this trick can do to immortals that could be considered harmful are sleep, memory erasure/ retrieval/ and addition, so don't think in a thousand years -sorry Turns- from now you could simply give yourself Hepatitis to end your misery." "Didn't think I'd be able to. Damn!" "That is exactly what I said GOD knows how many years ago. You're stuck being immortal like myself. Watching everyone you know and love die usually right before your very eyes," he had a far away look in his eyes as he said that last bit, "That is why I called immortality 'anguish'," he turned away from me and I could here him weeping. After he stopped he said -without turning around, "Jason, I have to level with you. Your wish was not granted." "Huh?" I asked bewildered. "Your wish was not granted," he said without turning around. "What are you trying to say!" I turned him around and repeated my question. "What I mean is, you were banished from Earth -and Heaven." |
