An Immortal 6

The Egg slowly opened.

Francis and Jason stepped out.

"It's a wonderful success," Francis beamed with a smile. Then, she squeezed Jason's hand. Jason looked at her for a slight second.

"Yes. It's a great success," Jason heard himself say.

"We'll meet for dinner," Francis whispered into Jason's ear.

"The Egg does not work," Jason asserted, dipping some sushi into the wasabi/soy sauce.

"It doesn't work for you," Francis, "because you are gay."

"How did you know that?" Jason asked. "I consider it to be private so I'd appreciate it if you didn't tell anyone else."

"I won't. Anyway the Egg works perfectly with heterosexuals and homosexuals when they are put in together. It's going to be a great success," Francis finished.

"So you knew after I stepped out of the Egg," Jason asserted.

"Jason, I knew when I first met you, but I have one simple question for you. For all time, are you going to be gay?"

"Who are you?" Jason asked.
"I am immortal, just like you. But I have been immortal for 10 years."
