  1. Sounds like a play. Doomed to death? I suppose that's up to the author. Or the reader, depending on who's writing.

  2. in truth, i write a tragedy, based on the events, of everyone on that list's doom. including mine own.

  3. including your own? At least your death has not followed yet. Tell me, how many of these have gone down the river styx? Do you even know, or will you even tell me?

  4. doom is not by necessity death. merely an ill fate.

  5. I'd prefer death at times. Cannot imagine what it'd be like to be pecked to near death, or followed by the winged variety. Oh wait. Yes, I can. The fuckers live in the trees outside my home.

    Oh wait.

    I wasn't supposed to tell you that.
