CHAPTER THIRTY SIX

Sir Jacob Matthews was now one hundred and thirty eight years old. It was the year 2150 on earth and he had done many things in his life to make his father proud. Two years had gone by since his father’s death and he had taken it hard. One thing that made him proud of his father was his strength and longevity, since his father did live to a ripe old age of one hundred and seventy-eight. It was also good that he had been the most celebrated writer of his time in the Province of Ontario and discovered that humans had been here during the time of the dinosaurs.

It was all based on fringe science but it was being picked up by famous scientists. His father wrote the famed “Earthling Chronicles” and the even more famed “How to Catch an Alien Spy”. It was fully revised and it is the 5th edition that finally made his father very popular. He was not use to being in the hospital with all of the nurses complaining that he was drinking too much water. Jacob did not like all of the tubes that were stuck in him and he did not even know what half of them were used for. It was the intensive care unit of the cardiac ward of the Toronto League hospital.

The valve replacement surgery was successful and he did not understand why he was still in there. Being a five-time winner of the world martial arts championship, he was not use to being weak. It hurt when he breathed, but it hurt more that no one visited him. As a fifth dan in karate, second dan in Kobodo, a master in Jeet Kune Do, a fencing instructor, a fourth dan in Kendo, a second dan in Iaido and sixth dan in Aikido, he felt completely useless lying on his back and not being able to do things for himself.

When he considered all that he had been through, he was at the resolve that he at least had his wits about him. With four PhDs to his name, Physics, Chemistry, Philosophy and Anthropology, he was well known as a scholar for the Institute of Cosmic Travel and Exploration. He had hoped that one device that he was working on in particular would prove viable enough for him to get the long delayed recognition of a Nobel Prize.

Getting this would give him the funds he needed to extend his research beyond even his expectations. He estimated the Nobel Prize to be at about two million and six hundred thousand dollars. It was just enough money to carry out his research as efficiently as he desired. Jacob was brought out of his deep contemplation when he heard the nurse’s footsteps approaching his bed.

“You have a visitor. I would have had him not come in, but he insisted that he had to see you. Are the scientists at the Institute of Cosmic Travel and Exploration always so pushy and arrogant?” Nurse Cratchet said with outward contempt.
