How would you like to die?

Originally asked

Vanity Fair, to its interview subject, The Proust Questionnaire

A fixed final question in Vanity Fair's Proust Questionnaire, repeated verbatim across respondent pages.

You answer as yourself. Nobody on FLAPSS answers as anybody else.

Recorded John Mellencamp said elsewhere, not written here
I need a long and lingering death to make sure that I have time to have a deathbed conversion.

Like? I have no soft spot, fondness, admiration, respect, attraction, or esteem for death. I am not taken with it or infatuated by it. I carry no torch, have no crush, take no shine to the word or action of death. I don’t have the hots for it, and I don’t dig it, either.

Peacefully, in good physical health, sound of mind, still active, at a great age, with my children around me.

How doesn’t matter—it’s when that matters. When I’m ready!
