Perfect. I really would have been disappointed, after your fast burn suspense, to hear the words being completed.
As life keeps reminding us, it is fickle and time's time when last orders are called.
It does make me doubt all these great and the goods famous last words. They would be way more believable if just one of them was "AAARRGH!"
I hope my last words are "knock, knock!" and my gravestone says "get off my head!" 😀

Simply remarkable both in subject and in format. Both increase the feelings wrought by the other. A truly extraordinary piece.
