How would you go?

I posted this thread a few years ago under the handle "Modified Soul" and it enjoyed a decent amount of attention, so curious as to your answers this time around...

How would you prefer to die? Circumstances out of your control or suicide, this thread will entertain both.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I doubt most people who "die" in their sleep are actually asleep through it. I mean, what if you have a heart attack and wake up from the intense pain, alone in the dark of night? The idea of going in your dreams sounds the most painless but unlikely...

I think I would want to go suddenly as well, since I'm horrified at the thought of my own death, still. Funny though, that other people's deaths do not phase me as much as I think they should.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

At some point hmm?

I entirely share you sentiment on disease, if I were crippled for the rest of my life due to some inhibiting illness I would just end it all myself, prolly by way of ODing on sleeping pills. I just don't see the point to living such a low quality of life - unless I'm still somehow offering a lot to the world.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I would take death over the inability to think coherently...

I would like my death to be as peaceful as it could be. In my own strange way, if I did decide to end it all, I like the the idea of falling from a very tall cliff or bridge, with just the sky, the horizon, and the sound of the wind, followed by an instant, painless death.

A swan dive in oblivion, eh?

How ya doing, buddy?

It just occured to me that if you've seen Haibane Renmei, you might find the combination of this post and my name rather...interesting?

Indeed, I do. Makes perfect sense though. :P

I was speaking idiomatically.
