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.

Brilliant story. Who would think you could say so much in 100 words?

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. 🤣
