Comments on: Deathbed http://old.furiousnads.com/2008/05/deathbed/ You're furious. I never taught you to sing. You carry rocks in your head and pitch them. Without warning. Happy drunk. You're furious. I beg you for sin. I beg your skin. You buy a whore. Don't give her water. You're furious.

There is something right about that photo. It might be troublesome to some who view it. The actual moment of a person's death is not something most people get to see -- at least they don't until a situation such as yours. This is how it will end for all of us.
