In the middle of a large Montana pasture while lying on a blanket watching the clouds, the sun warming my skin. Then suddenly ... Out of nowhere ... A Meteor. Total obliteration. I want to be one of those freakish statistics. Imagine the kids signing that story to their friends.

I prefer not to, but if I must...in my sleep, in the middle of the hottest wet-dream I've ever had.

I prefer to die doing something that I love. I just hope that if I do die, that it's quick and not drawn out. I don't like pain.

Instantaneously. I aways thought I wanted to be cremated and mixed with the pets' ashes. Now I'm thinking I want to rot in one of those study fields where animals and creepy-crawlies devour remains. That, or the compost.

MrsP, the Body Farm, eh? Very cool, and badass in a science nerd way.

Delta, why a dream? I'd prefer to die in the act. It's traumatic for one's partner, I'm sure, but hey... I'm dead, so I don't have to feel badly about that.

Dakat, spoken like a true writer.

Jl33, I've thought the same. Maybe right after getting the best laugh off a one-liner I've ever had... Hearing all that musical laughter and then BOOM! Gone in an instant, still hearing the chuckles as I step into the afterlife... sweet.

I mainly want to die when I am "ready." I watched two grandmas die, one had cancer that took her before she was ready. Hard to watch because she had so much vitality and she kept a futile fight up to the end. The other grandma died shy of 100 years old. I called her on her 89 birthday and she said, "I am ready to go." I said, "I didn't know you were going out for your birthday, where are you going?" She said, "no, I am just ready to go." OHHH. She died peacefully in her sleep.

I'd like to die from shortness of breath as I attempt to blow out the candles on my 120th birthday cake.

DynamicDbytheC says,

VA, now that is a great one. And I hope it is with your 29 year old buxom blond girlfriend at your side.

Dean6805 says,

Make it 35, Dynamic... as I've said in other posts, dudes want a women who know what they like... :D

Sliding into home plate after nailing a grand slam...at 90.

MacDon says,

As long as I'm happy it wouldn't matter

Quickly and no one cries

KharisJo says,

i'd rather be raptured

prairiegirl says,

Satisfied

Steve__Anthony says,

With two-weeks advance notice and then in my sleep.

Colt_Mach1 says,

Right after a long conversation with my great-great grandchildren so they will remember me. I want to be able to contentedly and confidently ask Death what took him so long.

BanjoDan says,

i hope to go out choking the vultures

Dean6805 says,

Hardcore, BD.
