Death

Have you actually taken the time to think that some day, you will die? YOU WILL DIE! You will surely die. Some day in the future, your corpse will be laying inside a shiny coffin. Your coffin will be draped with flowers. Formaldehyde will have substituted your blood. People, your loved ones will be crowding around your coffin and crying. They will be talking about you...your life...your Death. Your rotting corpse will be snug inside the confines of an expensive and overpriced coffin. Depending on the type of death you will experience, you will have an open or closed coffin ceremony. The minister presiding over your service will speak a few words and will pretend to know you. There will be no silence. Crying will be heard throughout your service.

Worse yet, have you actually taken the time to ponder HOW you will die? Will you be decapitated in a horrible car accident as you are ejected through the windshield...perhaps you will burn to death. You will inhale flames to end it quickly. Will you be shot to death by an intruder? That's not a bad way to go. Will you be poisoned to death by consuming cyanide, rat poison, or even by consuming mercury from something as common as a home thermometer? Maybe you will die from a poisonous snake bite. That is a very painful way to go. Perhaps you will starve to death after an apocalyptic earthquake destroys all your survival needs. Will you drown during your vacation? Maybe, just maybe you'll suffer the worst death possible. "What could it be," you might be wondering. Have you ever held your breath just to see how long you can hold it? Imagine not being able to take that deep breath again...imagine you are not playing around anymore...imagine someone behind you choking you to death. Your eyes will pop out...your facial veins will explode painfully. Your arteries will pulsate their last bit of oxygen to your extremities...it is the most horrible death known to man...death by asphyxiation. Try it now. Hold your breath. Hold it as long as you can. Now imagine, imagine not being able to release it.
