For me, probably nothing more than, "He was a nice kid. He held doors for people."*

How about y'all?

Fuck if I know.

Hope it's positive though.

What? I'm not going to die. Not before anyone else. Immortality serums are just around the corner. [lol][lol][lol]

I vowed, and so did you: Beyond this wall- we would make it through.

That I existed. Hopefully I'll have more time to leave an impact.

Not really interested one way or the other. One of my goals in life is to better as many other lives as I can without them having any idea I had a part in it, so.

Depends on which people you ask. They'd probably all think that I wasn't quite done doing whatever it was that I was doing when I died. And—

Okay, getting too deep in thought about this.

Long story short, people will be wondering why it took me so damn long to lay still for a while.

If it was anytime soon, probably about the same as the OP. :/ If it were as much as five years from now, I honestly have no freaking clue; that's how much I have planned for the future.

I'd be too busy being dead to care.

If I died now?

"Oh, what a tragedy that he did not live enough to write down the awesome theorem whose existence he hinted at in his notebook! That would have been a Nobel Prize for sure!" tongue

But really, I suppose that what they will think depends on what I'll do in the meantime. Which is probably a reason why I should stop procrastinating now... tongue

But they seem to know where they are going, the ones who walk away from Omelas.

I don't know... "She seemed like a nice wholesome kid with a bright future", probably.

Who is "people", anyway?

In any case, if I died soon, I hope that they would have the decency to give me a doctorate to the memory. It would suck to have basically finished the thesis (minor corrections and some fixes excluded) and not being able to put "Dr" before my name in whatever afterlife there is tongue

I'd settle for a post-mortem Master's in English. Maybe even a teacher's certification.

@Ten Tails Beast: I hope not tongue

I don't know, all I can really say is 'what would people think if I died now'. I don't know what sort of person I'm going to be at the age of 60 or 70 or whenever I die. It's possible I'll be a bitter grumpy old bitch who people will say of "Well, she was a grumpy bitch, but she knew her stuff", and also possible that I'll be some sort of saintly crusader and they'll name a library after me or something. Who really knows?

Be not afraid...
