It’s Nick. I technically could have written my last blog post, but I wasn’t
really feeling up to it, so I asked Kelly to fill in for me again. She’s kept
you well up-to-date on everything that was happening with me. We don’t have
all the details yet, but from what we gather, a rival of the man who was
paying me for my index and bone marrow does not want the procedures to go
ahead. Evidently, there’s this whole subsector of research that’s looking into
longevity that a lot of people don’t know about. It’s kind of secretive,
because progress is slow, so it doesn’t make the companies any money, which
can make them skirt the rules sometimes. I was a victim of this hidden war.
Everyone working in the field believes that I’m the biggest breakthrough
anyone could have had, and the competitors are feeling jealous that he’s the
one who got to me first. Well, it looks like my poisoner may have gotten their
wish. I seem to have suffered permanent damage from the pesticides that I
ingested, which will likely forever contaminate every system in my body. It
won’t kill me anytime soon, since we caught it early, but however I die in
however many years, it will almost certainly be a contributing factor, like
smoking. That’s exactly why I don’t smoke, because the consequences are
inevitable, if not apparent. There are some things that I can do to help the
situation, like being as healthy as possible for the rest of my life, but
there’s no cure, because there’s not really a disease. I suppose I would be
all right if I did manage to get out of this universe, and into one that
allowed my immortality to flourish. I told you a little while ago about there
being a potential way to make that happen, but it would require the aid of
other people, and that would require capital. I no longer have that if we’re
not doing the surgeries. Don’t worry, the sort of down payment I received is
mine to keep. He’s assured me that he won’t be asking for it back. And hey, it
might still happen, I need to do more tests in the coming weeks to see if it’s
worth it. We’ll just have to wait and see. In the meantime, it may be in my
best interests to start looking for a regular job again.
