I once, many years ago, read a book about a man who was one manifestation of a Polynesian shark deity ... he'd romance a woman and then either drown or eat her (possibly both). There was NOT a happy ending to that.
Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you?

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
The oral defense for that thesis is sure to draw a crowd.
