I definately agree with Saudy when she says that it is sad that the 'immortal' cant have a beginning or end to his life and his wanting it essentially makes him partially mortal.
I did have a different take on the story though. I believe it to be the descriptive inner thoughts of a person about to die due to some 'end of the world' event. Toward the end of the story he says that there were also people who thought they were immortal. He also said that he had a faint sort of memory that he was a school master and was dieing off due to solar radiation just like the rest of the last few. I think this story is the portrayal of ones last thoughts, or delusions rather before they died. I found this to be an interesting read. I like the element of mystery that you dont really know whats going on, whether he is crazy or some how really immortal... Did anyone get that feeling?
