[ WP ] You have been given an invitation to your own funeral , being curious you decide to go .

When you get to there, everyone is dressed in black as you would expect for a funeral. It is an open casket showing. You are greeted by an elderly man with a warm smile on his face and a firm but comforting handshake. He introduces himself as George Richards, and says to you “ I ’ m so glad you could make it, it ’ s always better this way. ” He trails off before you hear him mutter to himself “ it helps with the transition ”. 
 
 He offers to guide you around; confused but intrigued you accept his offer. Things become more and more strange the longer you stay there. No seems to notice you ’ re there, it appears that they just look right through you. People are consistently talking about you in the past tense. 
 
 When you finally come to the open casket you are shocked and surprised to see it ’ s actually you in the casket. It can ’ t be some kind of life size wax figure, it ’ s too real for that. It ’ s an exact replica of, well, you. Your confusion and bewilderment now turn to anger and indignation. Up to this point, you have gone along with this macabre series of events because you have an appreciation for dark humor. However, this has gone too far. 
 
 “ Hey man, this isn ’ t funny anymore… ” you start to say as you spin around to demand an explanation from George, but he ’ s not there. Instead he has been replaced by a figure in a long flowing black hooded cloak holding a scythe. Suddenly, as if coming out of a fog, it all comes back to you. The blaring sirens, the flashing lights, the smell of burning rubber and the twisted metal frame of what was once a car. You want to run away but you can ’ t, frozen with fear. Everything in the room appears to have stopped. A skeletal hand extends out from the dark cloak and lands on your right shoulder. The figure said nothing for a while, then in a calm soothing tone said “ It ’ s time to go, son ”. You recognize the voice as George ’ s, except you know his name is not George. It never has been.
