Goodbye cruel world...

Well alright, some of you are writers so this should be (dirt) easy...
write your own headstone epitaph! None of us live forever so whether
you plan to spend oblivion in the ground or in an urn or ashes to the wind,
what are those final words you wish a passer-by to ponder?

Here are some good ones to get you inspired...


"Here lies One Whose Name was writ in Water."
John Keats

Man must endure his going hence.
C. S. Lewis

The Stone the Builders Rejected
Jack London

I am Providence
H.P. Lovecraft

Quoth the Raven, Nevermore.
Edgar Allan Poe

Good friend for Jesus sake forbeare,
To digg the dust encloased heare!
Blest be the man that spares thes stones,
And curst be he that moves my bones.
William Shakespeare

Against you I will fling myself,
unvanquished and unyielding,O Death!
Virginia Woolf

"Beren"
JRR Tolkien


... and one of these might be my headstone.


Now to heaven or hell I go,
as the crow flies.
Iain Sparrow

... or...

If you're reading this I'm already dead.
