how-you-die:
Miriam Black knows when you will die. She’s foreseen hundreds of car crashes, heart attacks, strokes, and suicides.
But when Miriam hitches a ride with Louis Darling and shakes his hand, she sees that in thirty days Louis will be murdered while he calls her name. Louis will die because he met her, and she will be the next victim.
No matter what she does she can’t save Louis. But...

I’d rather die

than die
alone.

This Is How You Die: The Death Of Del Amico →
how-you-die:
The seizure hits him like a crashing wave.
Del Amico’s body goes rigid, and he drops backward, his head narrowly missing the corner of the motel dresser. He makes a strangled sound. He sits upright on his knees, but then his back arches and his shoulder blades press hard against the matted…

He Kills Me

how-you-die:
He murders me, just like I always said he would.
I told everyone that he was going to kill me; friends, family, co-workers, the police. They find my body and there is no doubt. He killed me. Everyone knew, and no one could stop it.

Past the depth markers, past the safety divers, past the sunlight, I will surrender to the weight of the water and the weight of the Earth. In the blue-black depths, when all colors have been squeezed from the rainbow and my lungs are the size of baseballs, warm darkness will creep past my wetsuit...

This is what I want from you:
I want to know how you’re going to die.
This can be fantasy. This can be parody. This can be a meditation on the fear or power of death.
Maybe it’s how you want to die. Or are afraid to die. Or how you’ve always expected to die.
You can send it to me at…
