Death II on the Peoria.com Forums - Page 2

The Impartial Friend: Death, the only immortal who treats us all alike, whose pity and whose peace and whose refuge are for all--the soiled and the pure, the rich and the poor, the loved and the unloved.

-Mark Twain...ironically that was the last thing he ever wrote.

It's not the dying that scares me. What I fear most is having to depend on others for everything--like feeding, bathing, etc. I don't ever want to be a burden on others.

It's the last breathe that scares me. The panic that probably comes with it, knowing this is it. All over, baby. Everything done, gained, lost, remebered, everyone and everything, all of it is about to be gone and not having a real clue as to what's next...

You can hope you either won't be conscious of that moment or you'll be floating mentally on some really good morphine.

No one does.

There's a bitch-slap.

I have a feeling that subconciously, you'll know, but the morphine should help... lol
