The Little Prince in the Ossuary

# stuffed paradise (4)

The funeral didn't end once.

Winter, when Esther was told she was in mortal danger, moved to Port Bliss in El Paso. Because there was a CDC quarantine facility installed there. The boss asked me to protect the girl's death.

Fort Bliss' winter descent from the transport was an enormous military base. Approximately 10 kilometers wide from east to west.

It was said that Bondi was not this far, but that he had expanded several times as one of the main rear nodes of the current defense line due to his proximity to the old American border. It is home to Vicks Army Airport to the north and El Paso International Airport to the south, making it a great place to deal with air logistics, and to the east it was a wasteland with nothing to prevent expansion.

The location of the quarantine facility was this wasteland. The perimeter of the fence secured some distance from both the town of Port Bliss and El Paso. Apart from Esther's cooperative attitude, she was still dangerous in terms of biological contamination.

The way into the facility was a round-trip secondary with one packed. A winter-burning vehicle crosses the parched ground. It rarely rains unless it's summer, and occasionally a sandy wind blows in the dry wasteland. Winter could tell by the sound of small grains smashing into the car.

The isolation facility itself was well built without any clutter. There were not many flowers left by the citizens around the fence. As planned, Esther's existence was announced by the White House. The colored sheets of paper adhered to the wire twist like the wings of a butterfly in the spring wind. There would have been a message of support and gratitude. It seemed rather awkward for the heavily guarded soldiers.

Thank goodness. If a sick girl had to end her life in a desolate place no matter where she looked, it would have been less heartbreaking in winter.

And fortunately, there are no protesters who are concerned about safety. If you think about it, the inhabitants here in El Paso live on a blockade line in the middle of the Civil War. Now, the poor girl was nowhere near the city.

"Wow…….

Esther, who is finally reunited on the inside, looks at the winter snow, lying facedown on the ground.

"Really, you're here. I wanted to meet you."

I don't think I have the strength to move. Her body was clearly collapsing. The people guarding Esther's side had no choice but to talk between her and the thickened glass, because they didn't know what kind of mutation was going to happen inside her body as it collapsed in real time.

The environment beyond the glass was far from sterile. Esther was not a typical patient. Luxurious audio surroundings, highlighting records she might enjoy. Next to it was a flowerpot full of fresh flowers. On the other wall was a cross, and underneath it was a large Bible with dried, bloodstained aphids.

The winter when I stood with my hands on the glass for a moment, I had a hard time choosing a greeting.

“How have you been? ”

It didn't seem like much to say to the dying, but it was winter when I thought it might be better to treat them normally until the last moment. In order not to ruin Esther's peace of mind right now.

NEE.

Esther raises her jaw.

"I, Jaal, am staying. And don't be sad to say that you can't help people anymore.

“Don't be so sad. You've already saved a lot of lives. Without Esther, the Southern Front would have had a much tougher fight. You know how much people appreciate you, right? ”

After the announcement, we've covered Esther's story on private television.

And there were many who felt her help, directly or indirectly. Commander Capston, who said something was wrong on the call with the winter, was typical.

"Now it's a colonel. ’

I heard that my lieutenant promotion is going to be effective soon, so I'm not as fast as winter.

Those who felt Esther's influence, like Capston, were naturally friendly to the sick girl. Even if he did face a moral dilemma, we can't blame it on Esther. After all, more soldiers were able to avoid the Dark Destiny.

"I know. I know.

Esther coughs for a moment. There was blood on the spurt.

"Still, I'm sorry. I had hoped, given me this misery, that the Lord would use it more, more importantly.

“ ……. ”

"This was an arrogant attitude, I suppose. You made a mistake, like Yoop.

Esther blames herself again, even though it would have been a natural expectation.

“A mistake like Job? ”

"Yes. Phew…….

In the winter, when she felt a cloudy firearm in her heart, Esther blinked her eyes, breathing roughly.

"This is what Ioop said.“ Nevertheless, the Lord, my steps will be as clean as pure gold, you know, trembling and falling... …. ”

This was the subject of Job's insistence on his innocence. Winter is also somewhat aware. I heard from a nun on a ranch near the Russian River the other day, but I also experienced the journey back and forth to the end. Job was a kind and faithful man. At least I never did anything wrong to anyone.

"Then the LORD said, 'You pervert, will you contend with the Almighty? He who blames God, should answer.” Hash thou, again, “said Nega," Will thou deny my righteousness, to establish thy righteousness? Will thou call me wicked? ”You said,

When Job says he is truly innocent, even if it is true, he says that God who tests himself is not righteous. That is why the LORD reminded Job of his pride. The expression of depravity is also a sin of blaspheming God.

God was a subject that meant that God's providence should not be judged as human good because He was a creature beyond understanding.

Esther, who explained so slowly, concluded like this.

"Job was an innocent man, not guilty, on the basis of man.

“…… that sounds unfair to people who don't have faith. ”

At the end of winter, Esther smiles hard.

Sasil, I am a little too. Kiheehee. "

The girl who did not lose her smile until the end lived only six more hours after winter arrived.

Ah…….

Esther muttered in her last moments.

"Stars, I see.

The Cardinal and the Rev who had helped Esther live her life of faith had opened their eyes and prayed to God for her rest.

“…… God, the infinite compassion and the foundation of all love. May this poor soul become a shining star in your kingdom, finally bringing eternal life. Amen... ”

Winter heard this prayer and was in a bewildered mood. Wondering what it would be like to have a god who loves people on a human basis.

After medical personnel confirmed complete death, Esther's body went into cryopreservation. There will be no burial or cremation, even if there is a funeral. It was because she agreed with the stigma in her lifetime. Even though many studies have been done, Esther's body still had a lot of value.

The winter after the funeral, I got on the plane with Carlisle the next morning.

Due to the lack of suitable flights in the military transport plan, winter had no choice but to use civilian airlines, anticipating discomfort. Of course, table values are treated as public. However, the affection and interest of the citizens encountered during the encounter was a problem. The road is blocked.

The crisis was resolved by airport security and airline personnel guiding winter to the First Class Lounge. The silk lounge as well as the actual seats were also up-tuned to first class. As a courtesy to the soldiers, winter was often not enough.

However, in exchange for gaining a position of privacy, the pilot had to take the risk of boasting about it on board the airwaves. A for-profit airline can't just spend money to pay its respects. It was all about building a positive image and expecting word of mouth.

Flights over 1,600 miles per way were nearly five hours, considering the one-way transfer.

It was a principle to reserve meals for the first class on the airline in advance, but in winter there was an arbitrarily scheduled course.

The starter has three soft roasted beefs and one pretzel roll with cream. After emptying the dish in turn, broccoli soup came out, followed by a salad of lettuce, cucumber, cherry, and sugared walnuts. There was no menu mixing any of the ready-made items.

The main dish was a steak two fingers thick of blood. The crunchy spine went in surprisingly gently as I pushed it with my sword.

The texture was the same.

Feeling the great taste, winter smiled without me knowing.

‘This is not the first time... …. Despite all the confusion, the meal is delicious when you're hungry. ’

Dessert came with cheese crackers, chocolate syrup, and sunday ice cream with lots of strawberries. While winter was eating ice cream, the TV in front of the seat showed Kramer calling for medical insurance reform. I put on my earphones, and I hear his powerful voice.

…… Humanity has already faced extinction from disease. In order to make sure that this crisis never happens again, we need to create a society where even the poor can have enough level of health care! The McMillan administration tried, but the results were never satisfactory!

Countries should not stop selling private insurance to low-income people. We need a system led by the state itself!

I will first make sure that all insurance policies in all hospitals are covered without exception. Honestly, doesn't it make sense? I'm definitely insured, but I can't benefit because the hospital doesn't have a contract with the insurer? It's clear to us just a little bit how clumsy this is, and we're just accepting it as a habit that we're used to.

Even in a life-and-death emergency, it is the reality of the majority of Americans who have to go to the emergency room where my insurance covers them. If you don't, you'll die because you don't have enough money. As long as this fear is prevalent in American society, we can never be free from the shadow of the end…….

The news subsequently showed citizen support for President Kramer as a specific figure.

93.8%.

It was truly an unprecedented high support rate. Before that, just after 9.11, George W. The Bush administration recorded 89% of the cases. It is difficult to compare that the support rate did not last long. Cramer's popularity was peaked by drawing a long rise curve before and after a zero ground vacuum.

Based on the enthusiastic support of his citizens, Kramer was boldly planning to tackle the old contradictions of American society that even President McMillen could not reach out to.

Winter came to mind.

‘He's a great leader inside his fence. ’

Even though these actions were so intense, they had to be given relatively little attention to the interests of the United States, namely what was happening outside the fence.

A. But winter and Ando will be happy in the end. Please rest assured, readers, that you will be engaged in a life's work./Liz and the bluebirds did something and it must be an animation of the opening of the theater.
