Ascension (Patreon)

Phew. Another month come and gone. I was on the road so much of this month that I was really strapped for time to do much of anything. I still got a fic for youse guise this month tho. 

Zach awakens to find himself in a strange room with a strange voice saying he has been selected for ascension, but what does that mean? 

So, maybe a little impromptu poll here, but I had originally planned on ending the story at the "Process complete" line, but then I added a small epilogue. I'm curious what people's thoughts are on the two possible endings. The hard stop would leave the audience in suspense, which given the tone of the fic may be preferable.
