• "There is no one else," I said. "In this universe, there's just you and me." <br /> You stared blankly at me. "But all the people on earth…" <br /> "All you. Different incarnations of you." <br /> "Wait. I'm everyone!?" <br /> "Now you're getting it," I said, with a congratulatory slap on the back. <br /> "I'm every human being who ever lived?" "Or who will ever live, yes." <br /> "I'm Abraham Lincoln?" <br /> "And you're John Wilkes Booth, too," I added. <br /> "I'm Hitler?" You said, appalled. <br /> "And you're the millions he killed." <br /> "I'm Jesus?" <br /> "And you're everyone who followed him." <br /> You fell silent. <br /> "Every time you victimized someone," I said, "you were victimizing yourself. <br /> Every act of kindness you've done, you've done to yourself. <br /> Every happy and sad moment ever experienced by any human was, or will be, experienced by you."

• Amazingly, some of the bacteria survived. The population is strong and growing. That’s pretty impressive, when you consider it was exposed to near-vacuum and subarctic temperatures for over twenty-four hours.<br>My guess is pockets of ice formed around some of the bacteria, leaving a bubble of survivable pressure inside, and the cold wasn’t quite enough to kill them. With hundreds of millions of bacteria, it only takes one survivor to stave off extinction.<br>Life is amazingly tenacious. They don’t want to die any more than I do.

• “But seeing his status doesn’t help,” Mindy said. “It’s not like we can do anything about it if he falls behind. This is a pointless task.”<br>“How long have you worked for the government?” Venkat sighed.
