Martin feels the aircraft shudder and knows his time has run out. The plane spirals downward through mountain air, carrying him toward certain death. In these last precious minutes, the old man turns inward. His mind travels backward through decades of living. He recalls the battles he won and the ones that defeated him. Each memory surfaces with startling clarity as the ground rushes closer. Martin weighs what his years have meant, examining the choices that shaped his path. The victories feel smaller now, the losses more significant. His life unfolds in reverse as the plane descends, each recollection a final reckoning with the man he became.
