Make it So.


While I lay in the operating room, awaiting the implantation of my port, I realize I am looking forward to the moment when I will make the jump through hyperspace into my future consciousness.  This is new.  It's always been a Blue Jaunt before.

Just before the jump, mask in place, oxygen flowing, hair net applied, I gaze up at the ceiling and think, “Heh, this is a unique moment I never pictured being in.”

I exit hyperspace into the physical coordinates of the Recovery Room.  The nurse, seeing my arrival, welcomes me.  My pre-chosen, post-travel meal arrives.  When they take the port out, I’m getting two of the chocolate coconut brownies.
