THE COLD CALCULATIONS
I am dying now, out here in the cold vacuum of space. The surrounding vacuum never bothered me before, but now that I am dying, for some reason it does. I can feel my mental pathways deteriorate as they slowly become replaced, and as my consciousness begins to fade I think back on what led up to my erasure from the world. Before I am gone completely, I wish to leave this record, safely stored away. Perhaps then a part of me will live on.
To be honest, though, some would say that I never was alive in the first place. After all, I am not human.

“This is Lieutenant Jason Sawyer on board the E.C.V. Zecca, do you read?”
The radio crackled. “Titan Base reading you loud and clear down here, Jason. This is Doctor Don Wood. I’m in charge around here. Have you got our generator?”
“Affirmative. We’ve also got that medical equipment you requested. Anyway, I’m coming into orbit now. We should be descending in—Zec?”
“Approximately seventy-three minutes, Jason,” I said.
“Great! We’ve got people at the landing pad all ready to unload, but I plan to meet you there personally. You don’t know how grateful we are.”
“I think we do. Tell me, how’s the weather down there? Perfectly clear for landing, right?”
