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? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Do potatoes count?

I bet she enuculates them.

I bet she enuculates them.

I was going to say that sounds cruel, but I've been know to skin them, slice them up with a knife, boil them, and then smash them so I'm not really one to talk.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

The Jamaican restaurant near here has "steamed fish head" on the menu.

Which restaurant?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Which restaurant?

Kingston Grill. It's the one in the mall at the corner of Dempster and Dodge.

Oh, I just found the steamed fish head in the menu. You have a choice of grouper or snapper.

eta: "$9.50. Allow 20 minutes."

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Fish heads are a bit spare of flesh. I also prefer mine crispy.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I bet she enuculates them.

Oooh, very nice word.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Oooh, very nice word.

I just learned it from Patrick McGrath's novel Asylum where a character suffers that fate.
