I Am a Hero

"That is only expected, I am different from the man who I once was. I was one of the three people who joined this adventure. Other than the two of you, no one can say they have braved this journey," said Sam smugly.

"Indeed, you're not wrong. You have done a good job, and contributed a lot," Xinghe agreed.

Sam said expectantly, "Do you think the United Nations will award me some kind of medal? Or even a post or some money?"

"What do you think?" Xinghe turned to ask Mubai.

Mubai said with a wicked smile, "I only remember someone saying he would not ask for anything other than to be a part of the adventure before we left Earth."

Sam was speechless. Did he have to say such a snide comment at a time like that‽

However, Sam continued to convince himself, "I should be awarded something, after all, I am a hero."
