...stairway to heaven...

Switzerland // Zurich // University // 21.08.03

somethin sarcastic...

I mean...what the fuck? Right now, I'm speechless. Well, I suppose most dead people aren't very talkative. I'm just walking down a hall, minding my own business - next thing I know I'm dead. I waved at the old lady nextdoor, lit a cig and walked on; right into my deathtrap. Look at me. Even when I'm dead I look silly. I should've put on a tie before leaving the appartment this morning. I hate casual fridays.

You know, I wish I had one of those famous 'life flashes before your eyes' things. All I could think of is the idiot who made this stairway. I wasted the one split second I had left to think something useful by thinking of a fucking architect. Isn't that depressing? In a way, I believe that this last thought suited my existance. Don't worry about that though. After all, I'm gone. And all that I leave behind is a half a pack of cigarettes and a job opening at work. A slot easily filled. Hell, maybe I should be happy that I smacked my dumb head down the stairs into the smooth concrete.

I guess this is how it happens for some of us. We get up at 7 in the morning, drink our lukewarm coffee, leave for work amd smash our head open somewhere along the way. Some of us die in the literal sense - like me, breaking my neck on small slippery stairs - and others just off themselves in their head. The fun thing about death is that it's so sneaky. I didn't have a clue what was gonna happen when I woke up this morning. I'm glad I didn't. It would've ruined the surprise. What's the use of it all? Fuck if I know. I'm just a guy who got unlucky and slipped in the crucial moment.

Tomorrow there will be people walking these stairs again. Running up and down. It's kind of inevitable, that the things go on. It just pisses me off that I can't be a part of the machine anymore. I'm dead at the moment, please leave a message after the beep.

I'll shut up now. I'll be quiet and hope I won't have to lie here long. It's fucking cold.
I wish I could get out my calendar - I might be late for my funeral.
