Chapter 5

Benson was afraid to feel this good. There had to be a catch. Lying in the big bed he’d been in for the last couple of days, he also couldn’t believe how well he’d been sleeping. All through the night without having to get up once to take a pain pill hadn’t happened to him in five years. Rolling to his side, thinking about getting up, he saw a young boy sitting in the chair next to the bed. It looked like he was reading War and Peace.

“Is it any good?” The child put the book down on his lap and told him it was really good but was also colorful. “In what way colorful?”

“The author describes each thing very well. Like if you could just close your eyes while reading it, you’d be able to see it. I like books like that. This book is good, but I enjoy science fiction better. I’m Abe, your biological son.” Benson sat up but didn’t say anything. “I talked to my mom and dad about you yesterday. They said that I could come up here and talk to you. If you didn’t mind.”

“No. I don’t mind. How much do you know about me?” Abe told him only what they could find out. “I suppose that’s not really a lot, is it?”

“Mom told me that you had AIDS. That you were dying. I’m glad they were able to heal you and bring you here. I’ve been wanting to talk to you anyway.” Benson nodded. “I’ve been thinking about what to call you. I know you’re my biological dad. I understand too that you and my biological mom had sex one time and that she murdered you with her poisoned body. If it’s all right with you, because we don’t know each other at all, I’d like to call you Uncle Benson. If that bothers you, we can think of something else.”

“I don’t have an issue with you calling me your uncle. I think that’s about the easiest way for the two of us to go forward. I don’t know how long I’ll be around, however. I’m not quite sure why they bothered with me at all.” Abe explained what he knew. “I’m immortal? I don’t suppose you know what that means. I understand the word, but not what terms there are with it.”

“You’ll not die or be sick anymore. Also, you won’t age. I will up until I’m about twenty-five, then after that, I’ll not look any different. The living forever stuff is complicated, and I don’t understand a lot about it. I guess I could look it up, but I doubt there will be much, as no one will believe that someone can live forever. Anyway. I’d like for you to stay here. I’d like to get to know you. But I have parents now, and I love them very much. So the uncle thing will have to be forever too.” Benson told him that he was fine with that as well.
