thoughts on Death 1

Sudden/unexpected for me, I hope.
I imagine for many, if not most people, it's not death itself that's feared, it's the manner of it. Having read your 'Snapshots' notes Pags, I realize you are all too familiar with that situation. The only positive thing I can dredge up regarding adversity is that often it can sharpen and focus the mind - perhaps one area in which that manifests itself is writing.
Whether or not that's a factor here, I enjoyed both these extended thoughts on death, but then I'm a literary masochist, so no surprise there :>

S2 L7 - a typo..."ends" should be 'end', I think]
