This was interesting to read, and left me with a lot of mixed emotions.
The scientist’s mother resonated with me the most, I feel like you portrayed her anxiety and interrogation so realistically it made me a bit emotional. And I felt like I understood her the most.
I can’t ever imagine how people who do extraordinary new things like this feel, especially if it involves such a huge sacrifice. But with the way things progress, this may be a reality some day, though it remains science fiction at current. These conversations are going to be some of the most significant parts for individuals, though the overarching thoughts are often about the magnitude of a project like this fictional one happening.
We can face change, our own mortality, much better than the loss of others, or sharing that someone we love will lose us. It would be heartbreaking.
The scientist’s father realizing they didn’t share a hobby, her mother realizing she won’t see her baby or grand baby again, and the poet’s mother accepting it but perhaps losing the most. Ugh. You got me.
Yes, same as Vicky, I found this to be quickly emotional. Granted, I cry at insurance commercials, but all the same I think this is very well written Charlie.
