Fifty years later (in the year 2058), Jon sat on his bed. He wondered what time it was. From the amount of sunlight coming through his window, he guessed that it was around 11 am.

"House?"

A pause.

"YES, JON." It was a female voice.

"What time is it?"

"IT IS CURRENTLY ELEVEN EIGHTEEN A.M. EASTERN STANDARD TIME." Jon wasn't too far off.

"House, who is it?"

A pause.

"IT IS KARYN MAYFIELD."

Jon sighed. "Put her on." Karyn Black (now Karyn Mayfield) was now 66 years old. She had gotten married and had kids already. And one of her two kids was now married himself and had a boy of his own on the way. So, she was about to be a grandmother.

"Hi, Jon," Karyn said, sounding a little weaker than when she did when they were in high school, but still sounding okay. "I just called to say ..."
