You have just arrived at heaven/hell (or wherever depending on your faith or lack thereof).A you walk towards the pearly/burning gates (Or whatever) then a blurry figure appears and asks you how you died you begin to remember.....the time you Died.

So how did you die?
(The aim of the game is to describe your final day(s) hopefully in detail.)It doesn't have to be realistic...It can be set anywhere at any time....Also try to include people from the escapist....(It might be cool?). As well as that make it 100+ words.

I will pick the best 5 deaths.Then Out of those 5 One will be chosen as the best death ever. The reward for the best death ever? Resurrection to the living world as an immortal bad ass with heaps of super powers.

I'll post mine in a minute.

Edit: Try to say it in 3rd person perspective. Remember you are talking to a blurry figure about the recount of your final day(s) on earth. Also at-least Try to make it 100+ words. Also if you are going to do rhyming couplets here the right and the wrong way to do it.

ThePoodonkis was a scientist,
But alive he is, no more.
For what he thought was H2O,
Was H2SO4.

Murrah had low health. She summoned The Magus sisters to finish the enemy. Murrah ordered the aeons aggressively to attack the enemy, but instead they attacked her.

Ok here is mine

It's the year 2297. 30 years after a nuclear war destroyed 85% of humanity was destroyed. Most of earth lies in ruins. Though now most of humanity is much more organised now and about 45% of the earth is now re-colonised. Everything seems good and all. Un-till a small faction of people known only to us as the Hell bringers stumbled a-pon a massive nuclear arms stockpile hidden in an underground cave they demand control of everything or else they will destroy the humanity. Now the humanity faces extinction once and for all. Who will save us?

In the remnants of what is Russia (Everyone around the world moved there for some reason)in the capital city of Hafi which has a population of 45million the president is deciding what to do. They have to pick one person to infiltrate the Hell bringers and destroy the nuclear stock pile and retreat safely.

Little did I know that person was me....Danzorz...one of the presidents secret agents.

"You there!" The president said in a harsh voice
"You are one of my most trusted agents"
"We need you to plant this device *Gives small explosive charge* on the missile's and then detonated from a safe distance.

"But wont I die no matter how far away I am?"
"No son the cave is actually a nuclear bunker. The blast will be completely contained within it"

"Ok but how will I get in there unnoticed?"

"We make you one of them..."

"Wha?!?"

"Recently there was an attack on the city by the Hell Bringers. We managed to kill all but 3 if we disguise you as one of those 3 we can make them believe the attack was a successes and you have returned being the only survivor."

"and if something goes wrong?"

"Then we are fucked."

"Can't we launch a missile at them?"

"You more than anyone should know that since the events of 2267 no one creates W.M.D's for fear of another even such as that."

"Aw fuck me...Ok I'll do it.. For my country...For Humanity!....For all the chicks I get to bang when I get back!!!!"

"Ok proceed to the medical ward for your "transformation"

After 1 hour of waiting a doctor escorted me into a small hospital. It seemed clean enough. I sat down on an operating table. He asked some simple questions then put me under anaesthesia. When I woke Up I could not believe how different I looked.

They told me it would take 2 weeks for me to heal. So after two weeks of just sitting in a hospital bed I was escorted into the presidents office. He said.............

"Son all of humanity rests in your hands. God Speed Dan God speed."

To make sure I looked exactly like one of them I was dressed in the same cloths (Essentially just black overalls and a ski mask) and given the actual gun retrieved from one of the bodies.

I was driven through frozen tundra for about 3 hours. Then the car stopped. A man got out of the back seat and told me "Your name is now Jaz" You are a general so no body should ask too many questions He then proceeded to brief me on how to act. What to know and who everyone in the Hell bringers was and how they acted and what they looked like ant etc.

The only thing I had that was mine was my dog tag in my back pocket.

I was walked out of the A.P.C

I walked for about 2 hours. I then arrived at some barbed gates

"Identify your-Oh hey Jaz!"
"What happened? where's the rest?!"
"Everyone was killed but me, I managed to get away but the car broke down about 3 miles from here. It then sunk through the ice".

After 1.5 hours of greeting everyone I proceeded to see the nuclear bunker. As the agent said no body asked questions. While no one was looking I placed a charge on the back of a missile (They were stacked).

As I walked to get out of there, someone ran in and yelled "Hey Jaz you forgot something"..Oh shit....I saw in his hand my dog tag. It read I.D. Dan Srur AGE:35 CODE:738754783

He then looked at it.. The feeling of horror gripped me. I felt I had to run. As I was running I heard the crack of gun shots. I then felt A sharp pain in my back. I had been shot...I then fell face first into the ground.

One of them stood over me and said "Though you could defeat us huh? Maybe we can take you for ransom and get some good out of this war. Or we can kill you"

I rolled over to face him

I said

"Poor poor Hell bringer. Everyone knows..There's just no good in war...THERE'S JUST NO GOOD IN A WAAAR!!!" "I pulled out the detonator. He then realised what I had done to the missiles"

"I then pushed the button on the detonator. The last thing I remember seeing was the look of horror on the persons face" "Then everything went white."

The nuclear bunker was torn to shreds and the only thing they found a-pon the inspection of the area was my dog tag. A memorial was held in my honour. The president told us what he had done but do to confidential reasons I was never named. To the public I was just called CODE:738754783 to the president I was Dan Srur.

Lord Krunk opened his eyes to see the Clock Tower Sandwich looming over him, wielding a stylised Banhammer.

Oh Shi-, he began to think, just before he was wiped from existence.

Here lies thebobmaster.
He tried to run, but the bomb was faster.
In the explosion he was caught, and so he was taught,
The student had become the master.

"Oh, fuck me sideways." I would proclaim, realising that my life-long belief of atheism had fallen short. And I really doubt I'd remember my actual death, though I'm sure the Mosh-pit lead up to it would be a blast.

Alas, if only I knew that doing a barrel roll was not as safe and fun as the meme made it sound. Curse you physics and sharp or large objects!

Revised:

Oh cruel irony, a boy cut down in prime.
A hearty one, hale and strong.
But he lays now, dead, as I rhyme along.

A terrible fate of our cruel time,
But never shall his face ever see the dawn.

Whilst in Germany the dear man did fail,
An expedition for the mere sake of joy.
A deep, dark cave, mostly unknown to the world.
Perhaps it sealed treasure, or a once-lovely girl.

But nay, for this man, t'was his unfortunate tomb,

He did try to rappel, but fail with a twitch.
For he had been shot, deep in the gut,
By a foul nemesis, aiming up at the boy.
T'was cursed [Someone] staring up at his foe.

A spasam, a curl, an unholy growl,
as he did let free of the rope
and fall to the ground
he had lost all hope...

None could be found
as he plummeted
down down
down

CRACK

And now you know the fate of this one
and though most of the story may not have rhymed,
it certainly didn't take me all that much time.

This is actually how a tarot card reader said I died in a past life so I thought I may as well post it since I have no imagination.
It's the crusades. The Christian armies are slaughtering the Muslim people for their blasphemy and for ownership of the holy land. One man, Benjamin, is traveling on a caravan to a muslim village. After years of training Benjamin has developed a stern sense of duty and discipline. On the way to this village he makes friends with the other soldiers, sharing stories and their anticipations.

They arrive and the order is given to invade the village. Benjamin, along with the other soldiers, enters the village and watches the horries of the slaughter. This was not some resource supply or bunker of soldiers, these were just innocent commoners who's only crime was to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Benjamin see's a small family of Muslim villagers cowering in the corner while several soldiers advance to kill them. His conscious gets the better of him.

"STOP!" He yells. He runs infront of the family and stretches his arms out to block the soldiers. "What are you doing?! These are innocent women and children! They've done nothing wrong!"
"Get out of the way soldier," orders the Captain. "They are heretics and must be purged."
"And what of us!? What have we become? The Bible says to love our neighbours and not to kill, let alone slaughter innocents!"
"This is your last chance soldier, move aside." Benjamin does not budge. "You there, deal with this betraying scum." He points to one of the soldiers that Benjamin had become friends with on the trip to this village, he steps forward towards Benjamin.
Benjamin pleads with his friend.
"Please don't do this, look at what they're doing. It's not right!" His friend says nothing. Instead, he removes the sword from his sheath... and stabs Benjamin through the chest.
Benjamin falls onto his knees, his head feeling faint, the sword didn't hurt... it just felt like someone was pushing heavily on his chest. He falls onto the ground, the dust filling his nostrils, and breathes his last breath in this life.

The man stood amidst the chaos, gazing out across the field. The explosions and rattle of gunfire were muffled in his ears. It had been like this for days, non-stop shooting and explosions always there even when he tried to sleep. He heard the whistle of a mortar and the scream of one of his comrades before he ducked back down. Moments later the impact of the mortar shook the earth beneath him and sent his ears ringing. Dirt was flung over the edge and rained down on the men inside. All went quiet and the man raised himself up risking a glance out into the barren field beyond. In the distance he could see men moving, shuffling as if getting ready for something.
A young man turned to him with worry in his eyes, "Sarge, what do you think they're are doing?"
"Look around Son. What have they been doing for the past couple of days? Kicking the shit out of us."
The boy starred blankly at the man his eyes wide. The man shook his head before moving down the line. "Looks like they are getting ready to rush us. Get those guns ready." No sooner had he finished his sentence then the screams of mortar fire started again. The resounding crash of the missiles as they hit the ground was accompanied by thousands of voices screaming in a different language. Checking his rifle the man raised his head above the lip of the trench and stared out at the mass of men rushing towards him guns ablaze. Raising his gun he returned fire, not taking the time to count the bodies as they dropped. It didn't matter there was always more to take their place so why bother to notice how many.

The few men left in the trench would stand little chance against the sea of enemies flowing towards them. The battalions had all pulled back to fortify the places closer to home but this battalion had been the one to stay behind and cover their asses. Most of the men here didn't know that, they all expected some reinforcements to show up, but this man did and he was prepared to die.

He continued to fire one shot after another, breaking only to reload. He saw men fall on both sides. More on the enemies but they had the men to throw at them and they were not slowing down. The sea was nearing the edge of the trench and the man ducked down, awaiting the first person who would inevitably get down into the trench. Across from him he saw the boy staring blankly towards him, a bullet in his helmet. Most of the gunshots from the trench had ceased as soldier after soldier jumped into it bayonets ready. The defenders managed to take out the majority of the first but wave after wave of men jumped into the trench overwhelming them. The man shoved his bayonet into the face of one attacker and then quickly pulled it out. He pulled out a second bayonet and dropped his rifle to the ground. He stabbed and stabbed as face after face loomed before him and his arm grew heavy. The man felt something sharp slide between his ribs and he fell to his knees. More faces loomed before him still and then something solid connected with his temple. The last thing he saw as he fell to the floor of the trench was the face of a boy staring blankly in front of him.

if only I could just get sucked into animal crossing
stupid paddle i wasnt the ball.
Guess the game and win a toast!
