Resurrection by Robert J. Cher. You're a fascinating person. The girl said, "I've never met anyone like you before. Tell me your story again." The man was short and stocky, with asianic fishes and a long, stringy moustache. "The whole story?" he asked. It would take a lifetime to tell you. He stared out the window at the yellow sun and the red sun. He still hadn't gotten used to seeing two suns, but that was minor, really, when there were so many other things he had to get used to. A robot waiter, with long thin metal tips for arms and legs, plied it over. When he'd first seen one of those, he thought he was a demon. He'd try to smash it. They'd had trouble with him at first. "They had trouble with me at first," he said. "I can imagine," said the girl. "How did they explain it to you?" "It was hard. They had to give me the whole history of medicine. It was years before I got over the nation that I was up in the everlasting blue sky, who under the earth, or something. He grinned at the girl." She was the first person he'd met since they got him a job and gave him a home in a well-done countable like years from the one he'd been born on. "When did you begin to understand?" They simply told all of history to me, gluing the part about myself. "Then I began to get the picture. Funny, I wound up teaching them a lot of history." "I bet you know a lot." "I do," the man with the Asiatic fishes said modestly. "Anyway, they finally got across to me that in the 22nd century, they had explained the calendar to me too. I used a different one in my day. They had learned how to grow new limbs on people who had lost arms and legs. That was the first real step," said the girl. "It was a long time till they got to the second step," he said. They learned how to stimulate life and new growth in people who had already died. "The next part is the thing I don't understand," said the girl. "Well," said the man. As they get it, they found that any piece of matter that has been part of an organism retains a physical memory of the entire structure of the organism on which it was part, and that they could reconstruct that structure from a part of a person. If that was all there was left of him. From there it was just a matter of pushing the process back through time. "They had to teach me a whole new language to explain that one." "Isn't it wonderful that intergalactic travel gives us room to expand?" said the girl. "I mean now that every human being that ever lived has been brought back life and will live forever?" "Same problem I had, me and my people," said the man. "We were cramped for space. This age has solved it a lot better than I did." "But they had to give me a whole psychological overhauling before I understood that." "Tell me about your past life," said the girl, staring grimly at him. "Well, six thousand years ago I was born on Copy Desert on Earth," said Genghis Khan, sipping his drink. "End of Resurrection" by Robert J. Cher. We wear our work, day by day, stitch by stitch.
