Only his dog had been along. Now Winston Niles Rumfoord and his dog Kazak existed as wave phenomena-apparently pulsing in a distorted spiral with its origin in the Sun and its terminal in Betelgeuse.

In "The Sirens of Titan," the character Winston Niles Rumfoord, along with his dog Kazak, undergoes a transformation into wave phenomena. This change signifies their existence in a non-physical state, where they are not bound by traditional limits of time and space. Their new form appears to pulse in a distorted spiral, with origins tracing back to the Sun and extending to Betelgeuse.

This intriguing concept presents a blend of science fiction and philosophical exploration, illustrating how the boundaries of life and existence can be redefined. The relationship between Rumfoord and Kazak also adds a layer of companionship amid their extraordinary circumstances, highlighting the themes of connection and the impact of the cosmos on individual lives.

People pontificate, "Suicide is selfishness." Career churchmen like Pater go a step further and call in a cowardly assault on the living. Oafs argue this specious line for varying reason: to evade fingers of blame, to impress one's audience with one's mental fiber, to vent anger, or just because one lacks the necessary suffering to sympathize. Cowardice is nothing to do with it - suicide takes considerable courage. Japanese have the right idea. No, what's selfish is to demand another to endure an intolerable existence, just to spare families, friends, and enemies a bit of soul-searching.
