Californian Pharaoh: A collective memoir. "The memory was still
present, its images fresh from the vortex of life, still brimming
with static energy waiting to be extinguished by dementia. The air
was stale, I inhaled deeply. I remembered the agent's own words:
"left button will signal the agent to assassinate Fidel Castro.
Right button will signal our man to take you out." All right, it's
done. "Are you sure you want to do this Mr. President?" a woman
asked. "I'll just reincarnate someplace else," I said. ... Then the
car moved by the Secret Service man, who I waved down from the
aisle. My right hand gripped the remote device in my jacket pocket.
I pressed the left button; it was stuck. This was typical of the
CIA technology. So I pressed the right one. Of course, that one
worked. It's always the right one, I thought to myself. The car
neared the clearing. A faint memory lingered: "You can't say Texas
doesn't love you, Mr. President." Two shots fired. One hit my neck
from behind. I urged my wife, Jackie, closer; I wanted to tell her
something important. Then the second one hit my head; it felt like
a Stroke. Then my body became limp as I broke free from my prison
of flesh and blood. . . I floated up into the air, not looking
back..." Copyright 2013 Michael J. Costa, All rights reserved. Read

personalities: Thutmose 3, Nebkheperura (Tutankhamon), Ramses 2,
