I read in the New York Times Book Review that some funeral homes offer a service where they take your cremated remains and compress them into diamonds.
They told me that they will take my dust the ash of my bone the undifferentiated gray-- wisp of flakes and compress them into diamonds. I will ride on someone's index finger or perhaps pierced into my nephew's nose... I will be all what I wasn't hard, crystalline angles cold and brilliant with the icy charm of a sociopath-- something to look forward to when I am old I am told....
