Excerpt – Sage Saint Charles, an actress, and classmate of Lance, is in hospice care.
Wow! It wasn’t her fears that I’ve been battling against, but a lifetime of distrust. My confidence in a successful mission collapsed. “Of course, you have no reason to believe a word of what I’ve told you. You don’t really know me, except through my noted accomplishments. But I can’t disappoint you because I’m only offering friendship and hope.” I pushed my point harder. “Sure, we can die here on Earth. We can die in space. Or we can awaken on a caring world that saves us! Fate is the captains of our futures, not the Grim Reaper–yet!”
She looked away because I think she feared any further emotional connection between us would cause her to relent. “Good luck on your adventure,” she said sweetly, choking back her tears. “I’ve accepted God’s final judgment on my life. There’s no future for me now.”
