Extended Warranties Honored Here.
Oh, to be granted a chance to see all of the universe and then finally reach the true heavens only to find out that you took the longest route possible.
Everything wears out and an extended warranty would be nice in some situations where it is not usually applied.
Extended Warranties Honored Here.
He was a very wise man
and his only fear was of dying
he embraced life with all of its
endlessly, growing knowledge
but he longed to keep on learning
beyond his normal lifespan.
He worked tirelessly
on one possibility
that he had studied
and developed
for most of his best years.
What the earth offered him
Info wise was miniscule
compared to what
an extended life
in the universe could grant him
It became an unbearable passion
and he was near success.
He had sought
eternal life on the theory
that the brain could be
coaxed into service
for many centuries
with the help of the
highly intricate,
innovative technologies
that he had just developed.
He had consulted
with neurosurgeons
and scientest worldwide
who all thought
his experiment was workable
but at a great sacrifice
to his remaining years
But he felt it was worth
extending his life in the future
and abandoning his present
mortality clock that was ever ticking.
After all He reasoned
the brain is capable
of living two hundred years
while the flesh is far frailer.
and so he gathered the experts
he needed and had them prepare him
for his journey to more life.
They successfully amputated
and mated just his head
fusing it shut at his neck
except for the cables that would
sustain him and they plugged
his brain into a
life support system
minus his failing body
that would stimulate
the healing, and pleasure
centers of his mind
by firing off extended
electrical synapses
that would eliminate
depression,
cellular breakdown
and brain cancer
thereby granting him
unlimited time.
He had built quite a
comfortable, mansion
sized space cruiser
stocked with many
renewable resources
for his brains needs
and then downloaded
his brain into the crafts
vast network of controls
and bid the world farewell
with a couple of
brainwaves goodbye.
only a few selected
saw him depart
for his mission was top secret
it was covered as a
simple satelite launch
which the press seldom covered.
His machines slowed
his minds metabolism,
and then it all was
launched into space
by his handpicked
team astrophysicists
with the intent of
reaching the end of
all universes.
On board cameras
would broadcast
all that he passed
to his brain for him
to view and ponder
deep within his mind.
Oh the wonders and
new galaxies
he would peruse.
Twelve centuries
later because his
life extender was so
technically perfect
he arrived
with great surprise
at the end of all universes
and in the presence of God,
where the heavens all
cease to be dark,
airless, vacumns
and true glory begins.
God smiled
sadly at him,
as he patted his
ancient head
and then instantly
removed
the cables that were
hooked into his skull.
Then with
one gentle
uncomplicated touch
upon they wayward explorers
wrinkled forehead
that he had raised in awe,
God made him
forever young
with a new body
that granted him eternal life.
Instead of being
transformed into a soul
after his earthly death
and being immediately
transported
back to his maker
he endured centuries
as a floating head
only to find out
that the extension of life
only required that he
simply be
unplugged! in a place
where all
extended warranties
do come true
forever.
