Dead

>>>

Mind! I don't mean to say that I know, of my own knowledge, what there is particularly dead about a door-nail. I might have been inclined, myself, to regard a coffin-nail as the deadest piece of ironmongery in the trade. But the wisdom of our ancestors is in the simile; and my unhallowed hands shall not disturb it, or the Country's done for. You will therefore permit me to repeat, emphatically, that Marley was as dead as a door-nail.

I returned a bag of groceries accidentally taken off the shelf before the expiration date.

I came back as a bag of groceries accidentally taken off the shelf before the date stamped on myself.

Did a large procession wave their torches as my head fell in the basket? And was everybody dancing on the casket?

Now its over, I'm dead, and I haven't done anything that I want
OOOOR
I'm still alive and there's nothing I want to do.

I will never say the word »procrastinate« again,
I'll never see myself in the mirror with my eyes closed.
I didn't apologize for when I was 8 and I made my younger brother have to be my personal slave.
