Conversations with Marx and Washington, 1968

Mr. Oscar Miller of 18 Pemberton Avenue, Montgomery, Alabama is an old man. Come October, he will be 94. Yet, in his old age, he doesn't fear death. All because of one incident that took place when he was 22. Cut to Midsummer, 1968.

In this story, Oscar suffers an accident that results in an epiphany that will stay with him for the rest of his life. In the bounds of eternity, meeting with his idols, it only takes the length of this short story to make Oscar realise the problem with the world.
