(Yeah, I could see this on my tombstone. But I have plenty of time to check out a few more before any decisions are made.)
I always tried to avoid dying. I always resisted my death. I don't lie here because I stopped trying. I just suddenly ran out of breath.

hahahahahaha....that just about sums it up, yes...this thing we call life (and death). Could I but write a fraction as well as you do, I could 'stop breathing' a happy gal.
Thanks for the smiles
