Listen to me. I want to tell you something. Come closer. Don't be upset and don't get emotional. Just get near me and pay attention, please. Look, I know that you're scared. I know what you're afraid of. You mistrust your body. Lately it has been looking more and more foreign. It's been doing strange things. You suspect that it has been keeping something from you; that knowledge of your own death is already programmed inside it somehow;

Look, it's not happening at this very moment. Perhaps, not as long as you listen and watch. People don't die in front of their televisions. In the meantime, we could probably do something about it together. I could tell you exactly what to expect. I could explain using precise words and heartbreaking imagery.

that it's stored in a primitive organ; that in between the crush of blood and digestion your appendix or spleen sits obliviously still like an overgrown traffic island keeping watch over a terrible secret. You worry that this knowledge will arrive at your very last moment; not as a spiritual revelation accompanied by an overwhelming cascade of sensations, but as a very public and vulgar betrayal. You're afraid of dying alone, but you're even more terrified of dying in public.
