Yes, it’s true. I do die. My body is propelled by the explosion like a bottle rocket above the spongy mountains. I die long before the force of fire fades and gravity gets a hold of my body once more. Though my shriveled, singed corpse tumbles lightly on the ground like an armful of soiled sheets, unraveling at the seams, I don’t stop. I continue to soar. I can’t see mountains anymore. I make a clean shot past the sagging, ashen clouds and into the infinite darkness above. My eyes dazzle and glaze over, reflecting the puffballs of fiercely burning embers. Everything vibrates as I zoom past. I fly past each and every star. |
