Your preferred way to die...

[Neurotic Void Melody]

If you could choose exactly how you were to leave this mortal coil, how would it be?
I regularly find myself trying to imagine the very last breath and what thoughts and feelings would be going through the mind as the world fades away. Am currently thinking It would be nice to be with a loved one, simple I guess. Not sure on what process would work best though. It would need a great soundtrack at least, though can't pick any particular type of music, ehh needs more thought.
Your turn! No limits to the imagination here!

 

[Addendum_Forthcoming]

Rocket propelled motorcycle from orbit, across its radial plane ... get to 20 mi/s, and streak across the atmosphere. Burning up through sudden mass atmospheric drag... and exploding into a shower of twisted metal.

 

[MysticSlayer]

Spoiler: I just wish the tide would catch me first, and give me a death I always longed for.

Less pretentiously, know when it will happen, say goodbye, and then fulfill the prophecy. It will make things a lot easier that way.

 

[Marter]

Enough heroin to put a guy to sleep, administered slowly enough to allow one to bask in its effects for a while - with a time-release guillotine hanging over the bed that'll go off once the heroin has done its job.

So goes the fantasy...

 

[Vendor-Lazarus]

At my own time and choosing only, even it that would occur after the heat death of this universe.

..Yup, still clinging on to immortality in my lifetime.

If an accident should happen before that time I just hope it's quick and painless.

 

[Sniper Team 4]

I would prefer to die peacefully, in my sleep, of natural causes after living a nice, long, happy life.

If not like that, then I want to go out like Jack Hanson in the Korean War. Basically, the guy held the line by himself and rained death. I want to die in a blaze of glory, preferably saving as many lives as I can, becoming a figure of myth to my enemies, and laughing while I do it.

 

[Saelune]

The not fun answer is in my sleep when I'm old.

The more out there answer I suppose would be...never because I want to become an immortal cyborg.

 

[Programmed_For_Damage]

Old age and in my sleep. I'm going to aim for that.

 

[Bob_McMillan]

In a bed surrounded by my loved ones. Preferably painless, and with me still being able to see and talk.

 

[FalloutJack]

I will explode.

No explanation as to why or when, but I will explode.

 

[Zykon TheLich_v1legacy]

I'll go for the classic Drug Fuelled Sex Heart Attack[sup]TM[/sup].

Now that is no fun. You only get one death, don't you want to be conscious for it?

OT: You know, an obsession with the specifics of your death is a symptom of depression. You been feeling ok, OP? As a connoisseur of antidepressants, maybe you should talk to your doctor about this. If it's something you "regularly" think about, I'm sure there's a specialist you could be referred to.

But if I'm being on topic: one bullet, temple to temple. That should scramble the egg salad well enough, and not leave me alive but brain dead. Bu it is a bit too quick to feel intimate. Maybe exsanguination would be better. What's more thoughtful than feeling the very life drain from your body? That'd give me plenty of time for reflection.

I guess it's a toss-up.

Not to get dark or emo-y, but Ive suffered enough in life. I don't really desire to suffer in death.

Ehhh... I dunno about that. Wouldn't that send basically all your primitive panic and survival instincts into red alert? I wouldn't want to spend my final moments struggling against everything my body and mind are telling me to do (ie. "Get the fuck outta the tub and stop the bleeding, asshole!!!!").

Relevant comic is relevant: http://www.lowbird.com/user/schwo/view/2012/01/bestwaytodie

In all seriousness, preferably painlessly, unexpectedly, quickly so I don't have to spend my last moments in deathly fear and mental anguish, and in a way that won't scar my family for life. Or if possible, just falling asleep and not waking up. Seems like the easiest way to go.

Oops. didn't mean to tip the scales into reals-ville. I guess that's the risk when you enter into a topic like this, some people take the joke-y route, and then there's those of us who actually think about this stuff way too much. I didn't mean to deflate the fun part of the discussion, it's just that I've always wondered why so many people lust over the sleeping death route. Seems like an anti-climax to me. But I didn't mean to put words into anyone's mouth.

Tl:dr- sorry, yo.

Not necessarily, it's one of those pesky 'everyone reacts differently' scenarios. When I was a little un' my brother watched my granddad saw the tip of his index finger off. You might think that's one of those classic 'freak out and scream scenarios' but he was actually really chill about it.

Basically, everyone's different.

Sex.

Yeah. So much of it that it will kill me in a pleasurably satisfying painful way. The insanity I portray.

Considering this, maybe without the guillotine perhaps. Although our body is supposed to release a certain chemical just before we die that can give us the alleged light/tunnel vision/peaceful feeling anyway. But it is best to always make sure i say. I hear pure nitrogen gas is the most effective, least brain-damaging method, so maybe that would keep it less messy. Also many a doctor has been known to utilise a certain type of amphetamine for death, which could be another addition to a tidy passing.

This tends to be the most expected answer, but I personally would feel a bit shitty about dying during the act, like basically dying inside someone...wouldn't that affect them psychologically? I don't know, but I'd rather not take the chance of potentially messing somebody's mind up for my death, unless it was a pure hate fuck perhaps hah!

Snipple-deboo

Yeah, it is something I am currently seeking various methods of help for, including a couple of daily meds that do something to imitate normality. Only so much can be done meanwhile though. Its more like sporadic tides for now trying to calm them by dancing on the pebbles and singing into the water.

I didn't say during. I meant the 5 second period afterwards. Killed by a hot Russian spy who I refuse to hand over all my secrets too.

An honourable horny death

Climatic deaths are for villains and I don't want to be a villain. I don't fault people for curiosity though.
