I represent The Morning Shout. We hear you are dying.
May we interview you before you pass on?
Certainly. There won’t be another such another opportunity, I’m sure.
We’d like to know what you will miss most, at your death.
Music, nothing but music. Classical and popular, if someone or an
orchestra will play during my last hour. I’ll be very thankful.
Are you happy to be passing on?
Well, I’m of two minds about it. One, I’d like to hang on a bit longer
and, on the other hand, if I can’t, I’d like my passing on to be considered
an event of some importance.
Next question: Do you have any regrets for having lived as you did?
Is there anything you would have done differently if you were given
a second chance?
Oh, yes. I’d like to have said hello to my parents more often rather
than ignoring them, as I did, even as a young man. I’m sorry about
that.
Is there something you can say you are proud of having done in life
that you would do over again if given the chance?
Oh, yes. I enjoyed making lots of money, and I’m very proud of having
left a fortune. It was a pleasure to accumulate, and I’d gladly do it
again, especially to see my name listed in the Obituary, with mention
of my wealth. Excuse me, I think I’m beginning to sink rapidly. I will
have to say good-by to you for now.
One last question: What are you experiencing at this moment in passing on?
Oh, a slight headache and a feeling of missing out on something.
Good-by.
Finally: Are you dead and, if so, can you describe it for us, for your
admiring public.
