How not to die

Of course many of us might hope never to die, or if that doesn't work out, to die peacefully in our own bed or some other comfortable spot.

When I was young I worked out that I especially did not want to die by drowning, or by fire or freezing to death.

Of course as I grew older I learned there were many other ways to die.

At this stage I think I am most likely to die of organ failure, but the Addams in me still has a keen interest in dying of misadventure. πŸ˜‰

How not: alone.

Then I wish that for you and anyone else who feels the same way.

Not uplifting, yet still, a vital topic.

Having witnessed many of this most inevitable of moments. I've come to a single conclusion:

Make it as fast and as painless as possible.
Long, drawn-out bouts with suffering are excruciating for all involved.

Hopefully not alone.

Well, it depends. In some cases dying alone might be preferable to dealing with whomever and whatever they might bring to the moment.

How not to die? With a guilty conscience.

True dat. I don't want to die looking at the person who murders me; rather looking in my lover's eyes.

... who in some unfortunate cases could be one and the same.


Dying alone doesn't bother me.
As long as I have industrial quantities of morphine and tequila.
