How do you hope to die?

[_Quietus_]

There is a high probability that you are a mortal being
Therefore you can die
In the unlikely event of your death
How do you picture the aforementioned event?
I would like to know

[Specs112]

Extreme sexual exhaustion.

[Lily x]

Of old age. Or maybe suicide.

[_Quietus_]

Extreme sexual exhaustion.

Taken so many lives, yet no research has been done cure it.

[Kíeros]

I think I will die...

Aliunde.

And yes, that is an adverb. Not all adverbs end in -ly, you know.

[Triangle Man]

I would prefer to die in my sleep from old age.

Failing that, the manner of my death should be so spectacular that it will remain in people's minds for the remainder of human history.

What he said.

[AProcrastinatingWriter]

Or maybe suicide.

I really would prefer you didn't.

As for me, I should like to die in my girlfriends' arms at the age of 74. Of course, by then she'd be my wife, and we'd have shared a life together. I could spend my final moments talking about the life we've led together with her.

Failing that, I should like to die in my late middle-agedness/early elderliness. I shall die in a way that inspires the members of the revolution standing behind me and that gains our cause many hundred more recruits, and thus eventually leads to the final downfall of the cruel dictator that took over our world when I was twenty-something.

Failing that, I should like to die as part of my final masterstroke which causes the betterment of society through a chain of events I had planned out in advance.

Failing that, I should like to die whilst protecting someone I do not know. I do not care if they ever find out who I was; I merely wish for them to survive and for my death to mean something.

Failing that, I should like to die from being launched from a catapult.



However, this topic isn't "how would you like to die", it's "how you think you will die". Luckily for me, I think I'll die in the way I most want to die.

[kraine]

Probably crashing a plane or glider. But maybe something really boring like getting sick or hit by a car.

At any rate, I'd prefer to be the one responsible for my death. (Not in a suicidal sense.) I'd rather my death be my own fault than someone else killing me.

[Garoslaw]

Natural Death.

It'll be so peaceful.

[demonicousFelinicous]

I would hope to die of old age, but I have a strange feeling my death might be brought on due to heart issues.

[Wiwaxia]

Fighting Space Whales in the great Space Whale War of 2100.

In my will, I will have my bones chucked into an anaerobic swamp to be preserved and, hopefully, fossilized. (I might actually do that last bit)

[amoralAriadne]

i'm rather accepting of my death - it will probably be in the next decade or so, and probably freezing to death due to being homeless in winter, or via illness due to lack of health insurance. If some miracle happens, and I should win the lottery, and be able to afford a roof over my head and medicine for my myriad illnesses, then I will probably live to be rather old.

I wouldn't rely on the lottery for an escape. Instead try and look for some sort of job, no matter how trivial, and go from there.

Hard work gets you places.

As for how I will die, I think I'd like to be awake when it happens, no matter when it does. I'd also like to be able to close my own eyes, so no sudden violent death for me, no sir.

Although if the situation calls for it, I can only hope that I'll be able to lay down my life for someone else, even if it ends up being in vain. If there's something I can do to stop it, I will not go quietly into the night.

[_Quietus_]

I think I'm doomed to either falling or drowning
Or death row
walkin the mile and all that

[AnatidaeCollector]

Most likely cancer, given that I'll probably be exposed to concentrated carcinogens for a lot of my career (organic chemistry isn't exactly the healthiest profession), and probably will be working with radioactive tracers and whatnot.

Other than that, possibly autoimmune complications, or heart disease, both of which run in my family.

On another note, drowning in jello would probably be one of the most noble deaths I can picture.

[armoredSkunk]

It will probably be really lame. Like, choking on spaghetti or falling down the stairs. Or both at the same time.

maybe I'll be killed by a ghost in a hall of mirrors.

[_Quietus_]

Wait, I changed my mind
I will sacrifice myself on a hopeless suicide mission
Somehow, I survive, but due to my unfortunate circumstance, I have to run and hide for the rest of my life
Nobody could help me, because they thought I was dead.
That, or my future self will pop in from the future and shoot my past self, and then find out that he was actually not me, and he had gone back 2000 years, not 20 years to shoot me, and that he had just been tricked into assassinating me, allowing Andrew Poulter to kill Andrew Price and take over the world

[Raidacab]

At Least Three Characters.

[CryCold]

With the way medicine is going I'd prefer not to die for another 150 years. The 'how' is largely immaterial so long as it's brief and painless.

[Varkarrus]

10,000 years from now, ending my reign of terror.

[Triangle Man]

10,000 years from now, ending my reign of terror.

That's the way that we all secretly hope to die.

Only a select few ever achieve such a death, however...

[autoglassmasterclass]

brain failure

[Wiwaxia]

10,000 years from now, ending my reign of terror.

Wait, I changed my mind. I will heroically sacrifice myself, over the protests of my ragtag group of comrades, to bring about the end of Dread Lady Hamster's reign.



Then my grieving companions will chuck my body into an anaerobic swamp, &c. &c.

[rustyForager]

Heart issues, possibly. That, or a severe cooking incident. You never know.
