What are your thoughts on the concept of living a very long life?

At fifteen and a half, Louis Catorze has already lived a much longer life than anyone ever expected of him. However, it’s unlikely that he has any thoughts on it. In fact, I highly doubt that he even knows (or cares) what “living a long life” is. 

Catorze’s journey through his senior years is no different from the way in which he pitter-pattered through his younger years: food, water, freedom to roam, the best medical care (perhaps administered a little more frequently than before, but that’s our problem, not his) and abundant love from everyone that he meets.

If only we humans could be afforded the same as we age. 

We’ve already found a retirement home for him. We are it.

      One of his pilgrims gave it to him! In the winter he’s permanently in it!

    Our “superior” human brains give us the capacity to worry about such things. Louis doesn’t have that, but he (and others of his type) has plenty oof room for joy.

      It’s his favourite place to be when it’s cold.

    Louis was lucky to encounter such outstanding servants who chose to adopt him and he doesn’t know it either 😺 .

      He doesn’t know it. He thinks we’re useless.
