That’s tragic, but very noble of Oscar to do. It would have been so easy for him to give into self-preservation and to go back to earth, starting an alien pandemic.
What a brutal choice. How many people would be willing to sacrifice their own family? Unless I knew the pathogen would cause a horrible death, I would be looking for another planet to live on. Or orbit Earth until they could find a cure, or send a nuke my way. 🤣
Loved it, and I don’t blame Oscar one bit. Great twist!
Thanks, Justin. I think I'll stick to Earth and not travel in space.
I’m with you there! 🤣

Not everyone would make such a sacrifice. It's sad and tragic, but he did the right thing.
Love this
Brilliant story. Who would think you could say so much in 100 words?
Thanks, Jilly. The Last Sleep was a puzzle to write. Have a happy New Year!

It's a truly horrible dilemma. And to tell your family or not?
If burning up in the sun was the only option, I would not tell them.
I wish we all had the choice to determine the way we die.
Yes, I think so, too.
Thank you once again Bill. I am looking forward to your Sunday morning stories more and more every week.
Thank you, Elaine. I'm delighted you enjoyed The Last Sleep.
You're welcome, Dan. I like writing and am delighted you enjoy reading what I write.
How many re-writes till you got just 100 words??
