Five-Minute fiction - 00:37-00:42
Ive been asked on a number of occasions on the matter of how Im going to die. Its not really a strange question. I know how Im going to die. I could say it was preordained, destined, written by fates, in the cards, but all of those metaphors are simply too grandiose. They presuppose some kind of other greatness inherent in my character. And I must be the first to tell you that Im not great. Ive seen greatness, stood in its presence and I know greatness, trust me.
Im not it.
But you were asking about my death, or at least you should have been given humanitys fascination with the next step.
Death isnt a big deal. Not when you get right down to it. It is simply the ceasing of all bodily functions, be they mental, physical, or emotional. Plain and simple. The manner in which you die is somewhat more of a big deal. Passing peacefully in your bed is one thing, or dying in a manner which is so sudden you neither know nor experience pain. But there is so much talked about in regard to painful death
