James looked at the Points, he had and began to think, time passed and he still sat staring at his Points.
He finally decided to close his panel of stats.
”My adventure in Survival World ends here.”He said in a weak voice that could not hide a certain self-disappointment.
”I live in a peaceful world, I have all the money I can dream of.”
These words he had just spoken seemed at the time to be words of comfort, but he knew deep down, through the disappointment he felt, that he was simply trying to persuade himself of a lie.
”I'm going to be happy from now on.”
Silence then reigned in the dark room as he remained quietly lost in these thoughts.
. . . . .
The time passed slowly, two weeks later in New York's Griffin Northford Spaceport.
Personal Warehouse 72935, James stood in front of a dark blue ship about 23m and 15m high with an interested look on his face as a man and a woman dressed in black suits looked at him with a smile.
”Sir, this is the model you ordered, with flight assistance, state-of-the-art cosmic ray protection, one bedroom, toilet, standard indoor kitchen, top speed 20,000km/h, space-jump resistant.”
James nodded his head and then pressed a small red device on his neck and made some movement with his fingers.
The woman also touched the device on her neck and nodded her head with a smile.
”We've just received payment. Here's the key to the ship. Your contact details and deed are on it. Thank you for choosing our company.”
James took the black card with the woman and then whispered.
”Open.”
While taking the suitcase to his left.
The left door of the ship opened, a small staircase descended to the floor, James walked slowly up the steps and entered the ship.
The man and woman then left the warehouse while James visited the interior of the ship.
