“You want what!?”
“I want to be mummified.”
I stared in disbelief at my brother, my only remaining relative.
“You have to be kidding! They don’t do that anymore.”
“But they can. We know exactly how to make it all work, better now than they ever did in the past. I’m dying. It’s a matter of days. I want to leave something behind, something permanent.”
I don’t know how he managed it. He actually found someone to do it.
Now, looking down at his mummy, I finally understand. Tomorrow I will change my will. Together we will last for millennia.
