Win an Advance Copy of the US Edition of THE GRAVEYARD BOOK
A dying gasp, a muttered curse. A frantic plea. A blessing, or a promise of eternal love. Famous last words are often remembered many years after the speaker passes on, so don’t leave your final utterances to fate. Plan ahead! There’s no time like the present to take a moment and pen your own parting thoughts. While you’re at it, feel free to compose a few words for other souls who are dearly (or not so dearly) departed.
Kindly compose some Very Final Thoughts for three people, as follows:
1. A famous (or infamous) living character of your choosing
2. Someone on the very cusp of dying in a very stupid manner
3. And you, personally — in the brief moments before you shuffle off this mortal coil
Be funny if you like; death can be hilarious. But if you’d like a real challenge, make your concluding thoughts profound, or poignant.
