The Technologies of God- A Serial Micro-Fiction 16/24

“What do you think, Van, are we going to live forever?” Sarah asks while floating with her tablet in front of the window.

“Sure, why not?” I say, pedaling on the g-cycle.

“Would you even want to?”

Her form is lithe in the shadows. Hair flowing against the backdrop of the milky way. The light from the tablet illuminates her sharp face.

I stop cycling for a moment. “I suppose it depends on the circumstances. I would like to live forever in a young healthy body, not an old tired one. I guess immortality has to go hand in hand with rejuvenation.”

“Wow, that android chick really did a job on you,” Sarah says.

“Don’t tell me that you wouldn’t take the pill if offered.”

“I wouldn’t! I would die a natural death like God intended,” she says.

“You, my little lady, are a liar.”

“How dare you sir!”

She flings herself at me, and I hold out my arms. We end up crashing on the glass cupola, where the stars surround us with their glimmer, and the Earth is a pinpoint of light in the cosmos.

Oh wait - that's nearly the whole thing. There's something beautiful about your writing I can't replicate - it's the Ballard/Gibson/Mievelle kinda thing. 

With a bit of Heinlien/Asimov/Le Guin, perhaps. I don't know. Maybe it's just the floating against the stariverse.

Thank you, @riverflows! Writing about space puts me in a trance and in the mood. There is just something very sensual about the idea of floating about in a weightless medium, as I'm sure you know given your surfing habits ;) Generally, on land, our body knows its predefined routines. Move forward to the nourishing, backwards away from the toxic, and sideways to avoid getting run over. In space, it's all multi-spatial and omni-directional, so I think that trying to envision that micro-gravity environment, gets me high in a manner of speaking, and maybe it also has an effect on my writing. Or maybe it was just the weed I smoked. :)
