[ WP ] Rewrite something you had written months ago .

Changed the second to last paragraph to make it more fleshed out and less abrupt of a change in tone. Original is [ here ] ( http: //www.reddit.com/r/writing/comments/1h9zrz/your_chance_to_let_it_all_hang_out_no_mincing/casjmqx? context=3 )

 I found myself falling towards the top of someone's soon to be ruined Buick. Found is n't exactly true; it's not like I stumbled upon my helpless self hurtling towards the earth. No, I am well aware of how I ended up in this particular free fall. Not that it really matters now. In a few seconds I will be merged with a vehicle and all the plot and build up that was my life will become nearly non-existent; restricted to photographs and the increasingly unreliable memory of friends and family. So, technically I guess found would be an okay word choice. Semantics really. 
 
 If asked ( prior to my moment of rapid descent ) what I hypothesized my dying thoughts would be, I do n't believe an argument of semantics would be near my top ten list. But then again, I did n't imagine falling as my particular choice of exit. I always fancied myself a cancer patient or perhaps a sea stranded pariah if pressed for an adventurous demise. But no, I'm falling. I'm like snow, or perhaps closer to a crashing airplane. “ We've begun our final descent into the Buick. Please set your seat and tray tables into the upright position and lower your head between your knees. ” 
 
 I wonder what will be worse for the owner of the vehicle: Needing to get a new car or having a corpse cave in the roof. I may get to be remembered as an insurance claim. 
 
 People always said there would be some sort of about-to-die recap of my life, but so far that hasn ’ t happened. Which is fine. Those sorts of things seem like such a waste of precious dying time. Granted I ’ d probably get to see all my life mistakes and I understand mistakes are meant to be learned from, but it ’ s hard to learn when you ’ re about to dent solid metal with your skull. Personally I ’ d rather fast forward myself into oblivion. The ground isn ’ t going to get out of the way, and the only direction I seem to be heading is straight down, so why not cut out the middle man? Same results, half the time. That's why I envy the people who die of sudden heart attacks upon descent. They get to skip all the boring pre-death parts. 
 
 Not that any of this matters, I guess. Small musings of a man near terminal velocity. Frivolous and unimportant, just like semantics.
