The room was indeed nice... Jim looked at it found it larger then his rented loft where tinny was currently gathering his things.
He considered himself quite lucky and fortunate to have had the personal attention of a physician he personally respected.
He sent a hard wire message to Serenus... His rather... Alien looking wife... Life as a madam she full filled the tastes of many of the extremely affluent and useless individuals across the sector her 'Celestial Harem" was renowned and her events were even televised... She was ageless and strange looking... He had fallen in love with her a long time ago... but her larger then life exploits went on for hundreds of years... He still didnt know who or what she was.. and even as he got older she never mentioned once of divorce or unfaithfulness.
Serenus is.. the only other reason he strove to impress a good life out of what he had left.
He supposed she would read it between parties thrown somewhere between New London and Malta.
Turning his attention tot he book pile the Erisan text was ornate and beautiful. He made the adjustable bed into as much of a chair as it could become and got used to it.... almost too quickly.
It may not have been.. the surgery that really... scared jim.. it was maybe the time to think of his behavior. The self loathing of decades of trading this and that... Improving this computer program or that system for the Stepsons and their slave harnesses. ...All of this time... To.. somehow.. not crush under the weight of the devils positive credit in his name...
Thanks doc for the awesome story. This concludes this part of the story the next part will concentrate On his stay in medical prison (lol) between surgeries. And of course is underused journal.
Id like to thank those that gave their feedback and Doc especially for being his frontier space doctor moving my oldest and most loved character along.
