imaginary retirement
Speculate on someone's future, far down the road. Be nice... or not.
Hyakujo's Fox hits on an immutable principle that forever resolves the conundrum known as a the "mind-body problem" while staring out the window of a Swiss patent office. The insight whitens and musses his hair considerably. Happily, the commercial spinoffs of his thesis make him a multibillionaire within the decade, and he spends his golden years blissfully scuba diving with Shalini, his stunning East African trophy wife, studying squid in the deep near Dubai. madasacutsnake suffers a debilitating right CVA in her early sixties, and the consequent dysphasia limits her to saying only two things clearly: "For ****'s sake," and "More cognac." She takes to a wheelchair though fully ambulatory, and keeps a crocheted afghan and a devoted long-haired dachshund on her lap at all times. To pass the time, she designs elaborate water features for government installations, which affords her a tall, attentive private home care nurse named Halston. After almost a decade of employment, there is an unfortunate accident involving bacon, nudity, and an Elna press which results in his abrupt termination. Your turn.
