When I tell you this made me weep . . . but in a quite cathartic way. It is a near future dystopian sci-fi novella, a day in the life (possibly the LAST day in the life) of Greg. He hires an escort of sorts to spend the day with, and through the course of the day, they maybe fall in love? Or Greg realizes his love for life? It’s a lot about reflecting on the past and philosophizing about what makes a life good or worthwhile and it ends kind of just how you think it might and how it really should. A diverting (and somewhat devastating) thought experiment.
