The Immortal Ascended Without Me

As the old saying goes: when one person attains immortality, even their chickens and dogs ascend with them.

So why was I left behind when my immortal ascended?

After getting chewed up by the complexities of society,

I find myself longing more and more for the days when I hadn't been abandoned.

I set out on the path to immortality, hoping to meet my immortal again.
