Prologue: Congratulations

I stared out the window and let the sun's glow bath me in heat, it was funny, I never concentrated on how good this feeling was. Throughout the years I never truly appreciated the warmth I was feeling, the cosines that spread throughout my body.

I guess it comes when you're about to die. How did I know? I could just feel it. The tiredness and fatigue that gripped my body most times of the day and the growing nostalgia, which would keep popping up from the smallest of things.

I would remember my school days and laugh at the silliness of it all. I would remember the hard times finding work and the desperation to find myself in the world.

The best and worst moments of my life would always come and go in a flash, and leave me reminiscing for hours.

I had been in this hospital room for a while now; I knew it would happen soon.

My health started to decline when I was 108. With the advances in technology these days, getting to 111 years was pretty good, but the richer people could extend that to 130 easily.

I never had a really good paying job to get the better treatments needed. I was only upper middle management. Better than a normal employee but nothing compared to the big wigs.

That's all in the past now though, I got my severance package around 14 years ago. It was a good payout; I had spent a lot of time at the company. The money I saved dried up fast after my wife's funeral though and then these hospital costs came along and took the rest I had saved.

I always said I was saving so me and her could go on a trip in the later years of our time together, but we never got to go before she died. I always put it off to earn more money through overtime and extra work.
