What is your symbol of death?

[Saucycarpdog]

Death comes in a lot of symbols. Some say the grim reaper, others say a snake, while I've heard some say a crow.

What I want to know fellow escapists is what is your symbol of death? What in your mind would represent death best?

EDIT: It can by anything from a animal to an object.

A clock

Generalised, the human or [insert creature's] skull itself is normally considered as the symbol of death. The grim reaper is just an offshoot of Thanatos (The greek god of death) while snakes are a symbol of cynicism, sin and the devil(serpent).

A tombstone. I don't really go for complex symbolism.

 

[Akytalusia]

this pretty much.

for mods: what? why don't you just post the actual number for the minimum character count you're looking for so i don't have to post these extra wastes of space anymore.

I may have to go with a scythe or death himself. I am not 100% sure, but those seem the closest.

A coffin. Once you're nailed in, that's it. Fin.

Not always. People got buried alive quite often in the old days. Sometimes they got set free.

The Ace of Spades.

 

[KinglordFranon]

A bottomless pit.

My mother. She is that bad.

Don't know why, but a decapitated head. Not a skull. A head with flesh. If that doesn't symbolize death, I don't know what does.

 

[lunam-kardas]

The spade symbol in any deck of cards. That's what it means folks.

 

[BlackSaint09]

Organized religion.

 

[lizards]

that halo guy saying "DOUBLE KILL"

 

[StormShaun]

Me seeing my dead body...that would be akward and annoying, then off to heven to become the angel of lightning.

It's cliche but the skull, it's like in every game where there's a "death" or "doom" style spell.

When I think about death, I tend to think of an hourglass. So here is a drawing I took from google images.

 

[SimpleJack]

A serial killer.

If you dont think about it too much it makes sense...
