I watched the news today. Or, rather, I paid attention while watching the news today.
Some kid was crushed under the weight of a life-size figure of Mary, the mother of Jesus. I can't believe the irony of this. People die everyday. That's an inevitability. But how many of those people die under circumstances like these? How many of them die of extreme pressure from blessed statues? How many of them would have the words "Mother Mary" as a cause of death?
Very few, indeed.
This is a little off-beat and incredibly grisly, but if I were to die, I'd want it to feel some sort of satisfaction. Like, in the process of dying, I want to feel superior. I want to feel whole while dying. The scene of death will be our last memory, if ever we would still have memories in the after-life, so we better make the most of it.
I'm listing three of my dream death scenes. I won't "go Hannah Baker" (or commit suicide, in other words) but I just thought I'd share.
The Saw Franchise's Jaw Splitter
This is more of a joke, really. I'm a big fan of Saw. The Jaw Splitter's pretty insane and it's my favorite trap, but it's against my will to have my face mutilated (and violently torn apart) by some psycho who thinks he knows how much value every one's putting into their lives.
Death in a Hospital Bed
I can somehow imagine myself listening to the beeping of some machine as it drops to a zero. I've seen countless movies with this kind of scene. This isn't what I'd call fulfilling but it would put my life to a cinematic end, which is literally a great way to end all suffering.
Free-falling
This is what superiority is all about. At least once before the end, I want to get the feeling that I am on top of everyone and everything. I'd be, like, inexhaustible on the way down, like a speeding car. That would be the most I can get from death, feeling paramount without guilt.
Surely, I would break my bones. But at least I know I've reached a different kind of apex in my lifetime.
