I love your stories behind the stock photos. They are always enjoyable if not an outright hoot! My Captain captured my attention. Great ending. It's a winner.

Here I am sitting in my rocker, drinking coffee and reading Spanner's story. And even though they weren't even humans, I was hoping for a happy, romantic ending... I am still seventeen at heart...

And, what if you had a starfish as a pet?

Have you read Tuck Everlasting Mark?

My Captain put me in mind of the story.

Thank you.

Great sci-fi story, Mark! I'm not sure I'd want to live centuries either. There's something about temporality that gives us purpose. Although, I'm not sure I'd want to burn up in a star either.
