You are Going to die!

I'm sorry if I am the one to give you this news.
Maybe you haven't heard from the doctor
and maybe the lab results haven't come in yet.
You might be angry
at me for being the one to tell you this,
but you are going to die.
The last disease you get will be incurable ...
They will do what they can for you,
or maybe just try to do what they can for you)
Make you as comfortable as possible,
and they may give you one treatment after another after ...
but the reality will be the the illness is out of control.
It is agressive, widespread and incurable.
Or, in other words,
you are going to die.

But you know what?
After you die
noone will be able to kill you!
Wouldn't it be great if nobody could kill you!
You could run carelessly into the street,
lie down in the traffic lane
and even if you got run over,
even if you got dismembered into squishy hamburger,
you could not be
You wouldn't even feel anything!
You wouldn't have to worry about groceries!
Wouldn't be great
not to have to worry about groceries?
You could collect on your life insurance!
Wouldn't it be great
not to have some nasty relative collecting your life insurance?
You wouldn't have to worry about a place to live.
Wouldn't it be great
not to have to worry about being evicted?
They can not evict you because, technically, legally,
you wouldn't be living where you're living,
so therefore, not even the police could kick you out.
Is this not so, Sunshine?
You wouldn't have to worry
about contracting or dying of any disease again.
That way you wouldn't miss work.
You wouldn't have to worry
about going to the bathroom.
Wouldn't it be great if ... ...
Well you could still go there but you wouldn't HAVE to.
In fact, you could go in the closet.
Wouldn't it be great if you could stay in the closet?
