You have been directed here because:

My character projection of You assumes literary talents and a liberated imagination. If you’re willing and/or eager to engage in a little literary/screenwriting playtime exercise, I have a forty-five assignment detailed below. 

I have become very interested in the deliberation/awareness/consciousness of the final words with which one should choose to depart this earthly realm. I am hoping you’d be interested in transcribing your imagination of:

(A) a scene of a third party’s* final words or

(B) your own (romanticized, pessimitized, and/or satirized) final words

Although FinalDraft format would be preferred, any mode of storytelling is accepted gratefully, be it formed in paragraphs, timeline, or even a series of captioned images. 

We’ve assembled a merry gang of of cameramen, writers, and actors to re-/enact some of these the final words a la Cindy Sherman in West Palm Beach, FL the weekend of April 8th.**

*Be it role model, celebrity, family member, fictionalized character…

**If you’re interested in attending/acting in the shoot, please correspond with me directly—plenty of beds and parts and fun to go around.

SOME EXAMPLES:

Actor John Barrymore: Die? I should say not, dear fellow. No Barrymore would allow such a conventional thing to happen to him.

Writer, TV announcer Charles Gussman: And now for a final word from our sponsor—

Banker Richard B. Mellon: Last tag.*

Convicted murderer Thomas J. Grasso: I did not get my Spaghetti-O’s; I got spaghetti. I want the press to know this.

Performer Groucho Marx: This is no way to live!

Beethoven: Friends applaud, the comedy is over.

Physician, socialist politician Salvador Allende: These are my last words, and I am certain that my sacrifice will not be in vain. I am certain that, at the very least, it will be a moral lesson that will punish felony, cowardice and treason.

Grammarian Dominique Bouhours: I am about to – or I am going to – die: either expression is correct.

Buddha: I exhort you: All compounded things are subject to vanish. Strive with earnestness.

Elvis Presley: I'm going to the bathroom to read.

Actress Lucille Ball: My Florida water. (4)

Opera singer Luciano Pavarotti: I believe that a life lived for music is an existence spent wonderfully, and this is what I have dedicated my life to. (5)
