    • Interest concept for a short story. The search for immortality in technology. It’s right around the corner which makes this write right on time! Enjoyed the read.

      My finance very much wants to have his consciousness downloaded and saved. I’m not so sure. Lol

  • Oh, dear! I misunderstood the assignment and added the first chapter of the Mummy Issues I as a separate essay … LOL To make it up to my readers I added two more chapters, and this time I did it correctly, under the same series 😊 Sorry guys, I’m a newbie!
