Death: The Final Frontier

If you had one night left to live, what would you do? Would you prefer to spend your final night with a loved one or alone? What would you choose for your last meal?

I love the last meal game- though mine has been on the lines of "You are on Death Row...." Which then begs the question -'For what crime?'


My Last Meal

Those breaded prawns from Wagamammas with the sweet chilli sauce
Spinach and Ricotta tortelloni with parmasean cheese
or
Jacket Potato with Beans and Cheese


Homemade Rice Pudding
or
Nigella's Bread and Butter Pudding with custard
Hee hee. That was quite quick. My tastes are quite simple really- I'm definitely not one of those who wants to try something new or posh- like caviar- on my last meal, no way.
Though reflecting on it, the food combination chosen probably doesn't go that well together. Oh hang it.
One night left to live. Would prefer to be with loved ones, but would rather we all be doing something like watching a movie, than sitting there with platitudes and awkard goodbyes. I'd rather the actual when of my death go unnoticed, so I'd fall asleep and at some point die. Rather than have someone actually counting my breaths. And no I wouldn't be saving any last words either. So, an uneventful death, and I don't particularly care what happens to my body-- I'm by far more fearful of growing old alone, than death or dying alone.
