Dor/Father TimeDor was back on earth, in the present time. Although where he landed would be considered a small rural village, it was the most buildings he had seen in such close vicinity before. He explored all of Europe, including learning written language and how modern inventions work. He spent the equivalent of 100 years learning, reading, and experiencing the new world, but in reality it only took a few days, thanks to his ability to control time. Dor then swam from Europe to America, unaffected by fatigue, hunger, or pain. Compared to europe, New York City was an unimaginable metropolis. He wondered if man's ambitions ever ended. SarahSarah finally got her dream date. The boy, Ethan, had brought vodka to make the situation less awkward, but had only confirmed their plans at 8:15. They talked for a little, then he gave her a back rub. It quickly escalated into kissing, then more, but Sarah pushed back when he tried to do something that made her uncomfortable. They both drank more and more until they were sleepy, and at the end of the night both went home. Sarah wondered if she had made the right or wrong decision by saying no. Or if it was the wrong decision because it was the right decision. VictorVictor is ready to be frozen, his "lifeboat to the future." He wants to make his chances of surviving as great as possible, and to do so, he would have to be frozen while he was still alive. He technically had to be dead when they froze him, but he knew money could fix that. All he had to do was go off of dialysis, then the person who was supposed to freeze him would be at the hospital. He would say that he had already died and begin the freezing process before Victor actually passed away. He offered millions in return for this favor, a donation that the Cryonics facility greatly needed. He had his lawyers draw up a contract. "He wondered if there were no end to man's ambitions."Dor compared the skyscrapers in Manhattan to the tower Nim was building. He knew that Nim's reasons behind the tower were completely selfish, and that the ones behind these massive iron structures were similar. Over the centuries, man asked for more and more and more. Everything got bigger, better, more efficient. The one thing that they couldn't make, buy, or create was more time.
