Last Next Time

by Matt Di Spirito

Overview

It's Gene's retirement day: he is turning sixty-five and it's time for a new body. Nothing is more important to him than the next time.

As he prepares for the process, the city is invaded by armor-clad alien invaders. Gene gets to the clinic, but when he comes to as a young man the situation takes a turn for the worse: the invaders are murdering young people only.

A planet-wide evacuation is announced and Gene fights tooth and nail to get a seat on the first ship to leave Earth--but at what cost? Will it be his last next time?

About the Author

Well, I'm just an average joe. I don't have a great career or do anything that contributes to society in a meaningful way. I go to work, pay my bills, and raise my family.

Life is an interesting journey. I've spent time in the military; it wasn't my cup of tea, but it was a worthwhile experience. I went to college for a few years, acquiring the credits for an Associates' degree in General Studies. There weren't too many subjects I didn't take. That's my life story: experience. I'm interested in so many things, it can be hard to focus on one thing for too long.

My myriad hobbies include writing stories, reading books and e-books, surfing the web, watching blu-ray movies, drawing, discussing philosophy or religion or politics, playing xbox games, dungeons and dragons, and probably a few more. If only I could figure out how to make money off of hobbies!

Writing is a hobby I've enjoyed since I became literate. Notebooks went hand-in-hand with computers. I used to write down little stories about my action figures, scenarios about school mates, and anything else to cross my mind. I used to make up games for my friends to play, and roll dice to find out who would win. Creativity, imagination, and technology are intertwined--at least to me.

Smashwords, Amazon's createspace, and kindle publishing opened the door for self-publishing, especially for authors--like myself--with little or no start-up capital. For all the woes of technology, there are some wonders to be had.
