Summary
“Dr. Grace? Would you collect my body when I die?” He flinches hard. Even after all this time, he doesn’t like talking about death.
“Um, uh, why?”
“I don’t want them to have it. My corpse.” She says this with no emotion. It makes him want to fight somebody and flee at the same time. What can he do, say no?
“I’ll make the arrangements.” Grace nods at her. She tilts her head. “I’ll have someone pick up your body, alright? We’ll have a funeral.”
“Cremate me, please. You don’t even need to come pick up the ashes. Just make sure they don’t get their hands on my body.”
“Oh-okay, sure, Eva.” This is the most coherent she’s been during the whole visit. Her dead eyes, the request to not leave her corpse behind—it’s all very unsettling. He doesn’t run down the hallway, but it’s a close thing.
__Dr. Ryland Grace has been back on Earth for eleven years. Director Eva Stratt has been in prison for all of those eleven years and more. Nobody is surprised when Dr. Grace refuses to visit her in prison.
