Immortality

It was the young boy’s first time at a nursing home.

He had made friends with a man named John. John told some pretty fantastic stories, but they entertained the boy. Neither knew if they were true.

“I want to live forever, like you,” the boy said one day.

“When I was younger, someone offered me the chance to live forever. But disliking earth and humanity seemed popular at the time. So here I stay, waiting for my regrets to be acted upon.”
