- "Something is rotten in the state of Denmark."
- / Hamlet by William Shakespeare
-
- I have always feared death, but who don't feel a chill when the grim
- reaper swings his bloodstained tool in this cold world? I guess it's
- normal to fear death, it's something horrible that we can do very little
- about. And perhaps it would be wise not to try too hard...
-
- But let's start from the beginning. My name is of no importance, it
- wouldn't say anything to you anyway. As I've mentioned I've always feared
- death, but it have not been a normal fear but a cold, terrifying fear that
- have made me very careful. I tried in every way to stop that ticking that
- said that you never get any younger and that death approaches. I hate
- watches, calenders and anything that reminds me about time, time that
- slips trough my fingers like fine sand. Oh, what I've tried. To eat
- correctly, no alcohol, no tobacco, exercise. But I got older all the time
- anyway. I dyed my hair darker, used cosmetic surgery but I couldn't stop
- time. I tried weirder and weirder things. To sleep inside a pyramid, to
- drink water from the Himalayas, to eat lots of yoghurt and so on... God
- only know how much money and time I spent on all these crazy ideas but I
- was possessed with the thought of eternal life.
-
- Then one day I found someone who could give me what I wanted. She was a
- daughter of a voodoo priest in Brazil and she told me that her father had
- developed a way to have eternal life.
- -So, why isn't your father alive now then?, I asked.
- She explained that even if the ageing was halted you could still be killed
- if a stronger magician cut of your head and filled your throat with
- pebbles or coins. Well, I thought that was not a very big risk in my case.
- Who would chop of the head of a middle aged businessman?
-
- So I flew to Brazil and had to pay an enormous amount of money for all
- the exotic and valuable ingredients that was needed. It didn't matter, I
- had an eternity to gain back what I lost. She wasn't quite sure that it
- would work as her father naturally didn't made any notes but she thought
- she would be able to do it anyway. We just had to try some different
- things, that was why the price was so high. But that didn't matter to me
- at that moment. Money was no problem and I was willing to try anything.
-
- Then came the big night when everything was prepared for my
- transformation into an immortal man. I will not describe all of the long
- and complex rituals, the chanting, snakes, blood from chickens made me
- delirious. I lost track of time, everything became a blur. I guess I must
- have passed out or something because the next thing I remembered was that
- it was morning and I was laying on the ground. All the participants had
- already left except for the voodoo priest's daughter. She had been watching
- over me while I regained from the exhausting ritual. I sat up and watched
- the date on my Rolex. Heavens! I had been gone for two whole days! I
- quickly stood up and walked around a bit to get the stiffness out of my
- limbs. It was quite cold and damp in the morning so I froze a bit. I
- thanked her for her help and left to get a taxi to the airport.
-
- I took my private jet directly home. I gave the butler the rest of the
- day of, I wanted to feel immortality without anyone present. I still felt
- a bit frozen, perhaps I had catched a cold. It seemed a bit silly that a
- man who just had conquered death should have a cold... I decided to take
- a hot shower and then for a glass of whisky and my warm and comfy bed. I
- gratefully slipped in between the soft sheets of my bed, the whiskey had
- made me a bit drowsy and I soon drifted away into the land of the dreams.
-
- The next morning I found that I was lying awake, staring into the roof.
- Then I tried to move, but I couldn't! Oh, well. It must be my muscles
- being stiff after the ordeal, so I just stayed and waited for a while,
- thinking what to do today. Then my bedroom door opened and my butler
- showed a medic in. The medic walked up to me and I tried to turn my head
- at him and greet him but I still couldn't move. He then shone a light into
- my eyes, felt my pulse and listened to my chest. He then walked over to my
- butler and I could hear him say:
- -My professional opinion is that he has been dead for at least 24 hours.
-
- Dead! But I'm not dead! I tried to scream but I couldn't get a sound
- over my lips. then I realized it! Kankkune had not managed to perform the
- full ritual, she had just locked my soul to my body! I was dead, but still
- trapped in my body.
-
- So now I am here in a dark coffin well two meters below earth. I don't
- know for how long time I've been here. I can't see anything but the worms
- and maggots crawl trough my old body, having feast. I can't do anything
- about it, just lie here waiting while these few words float trough my
- rottening brain: "Why did I do it?"
