Predict how you will die

I thought you were 95 :smiley:

Probably crushed by badgers running for a shoe sale.

Or liver failure.

Falling off a cliff to my death while a bunch of topless women chase me.

Lung cancer.

Some young punk gangbanger will piss me off and I’ll be slaming his face into the hood of a car when his friend shoots me from behind.
(I try to remember this whenever I get the urge to confront one of them)

I’m about 90 and reaping the fruits of a long and successful writing career. I finally write the perfect fantasy story. It is so perfect that the act of writing it punches a hole in reality, and the monster in the story comes through and eats me alive.

In the crash of a small plane or helicopter into a jungle mountainside is the most likely. Or maybe wiped out by a bus or truck on a narrow mountain road.

Suicide, I hope. I don’t see myself having a quick death, but rather something lingering . . . especially Alzheimer’s, since it runs in my father’s side of the family. But I love my partner too much to stick around being a burden to him.

every time i see my dad he mentions that he’s going to kill himself in ~10 years. he says he can’t stand the thought of being feeble, and being a financial and psychological burden on anyone. he recently bought a handgun that he claims is for “protection” but I can’t help but think…

Leaping into an active volcano on a small tropical island.

I wasn’t judging. Honest. I just thought it seemed odd to predict that you will one day, at some indeterminate point far down the road, off yourself.

Maybe it’s because I consider suicide to be different from euthanasia, even when self-inflicted.

In fact, now that I think about it: I might die by my own hand, too. I take only semi-decent care of myself, so I could see myself getting lung cancer or something and starting that slow, inevitable decline. I think I’d off myself to prevent dying in agony, if that was the certain outcome.

But I still think that’s different from saying I will one day commit suicide.

Alone.

best guess: trip on cat(s) and fall down stairs
second guess: lose track of meds and accidentally OD
third guess: some random thing a la Dead Like Me
fourth: cancer (I’ve had 3 different kinds so far - 53 yr old)

Heart attack, probably mid to late fifties unless some miracle happens.

Death by snu-snu.

Most likely crushed to death underneath a few tons of cast iron…Since I didn’t support the tractor properly after jacking it up…then crawling under.

Ooops. That’ll suck. Hopefully quick, at least.

I’m thinking, wait NO

aaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrggggh!!!

How YOU doin’?:wink:

Suicide by cop after committing a huge mass murder.
