Welcome to the END!
You’ve just walked into Enigma’s Necropolis Dream: “Hello, Sir/Ma’am! Welcome to the END! How may I create the Funeral of Your Dreams?” If you’re like me, you have your funeral already planned out. Mine will have a wicked dress code, choreographed theatrics, and endless options for fuckery. My funeral is going to be a grand production that you’d normally buy a ticket to see. Here at the END, we want to help your loved ones through their worst pain with our highly trained Emotional Support Specialists, all while giving you the final celebration you deserve with our team of Life and Death Artists (Embalming Specialists, Choreographers, Cinematographers, Writers, Musicians, Costume Designers, Makeup Technicians, etc.). We will abide by all legal requirements when handling the deceased, but personalized burial and cremation arrangements are available! Whether you want a simple service or a party on wheels, your funeral and final resting place should be ANYTHING you want. Come, step into my office and show me your vision. Let’s make this happen (any format, 1000 words MAX, winner will be chosen by myself with @TheWolfeDen as a tie breaker). Based on a realistic concept of the Funeral Home I am working towards. Challenge ends after we celebrate our dead for Día de los Muertos <3

Día de la Muerte

Out like a Mouse... Cute but, held by the tail, with concern about eventual Smell. In the Garbage pail. Oh, my where to put It? in the Toilet? maybe, too big? in the decorative Ceramic planter, packed out back? Won't fit in the fill. Oh, what a dilemma for sure, now. They'll have to worry 'bout disinfecting the half brush and shovel!

I'd like to eliminate all these problems of artifice. I am pained to think Anyone should be forced into Bedside manner. No matter how Heartfelt, the weight would be sooner or later a Burden, I confide to myself. And yet, I've cared for the dying, and it's Not like that. I never wished to "Hurry it Up already!" Or, if the Thought crept up, it was with sincere Regard for one who really was in midst of Suffering.

Nevertheless, for myself I hold nonesuch Devotion. If perceived my Time was coming, I would most certainly be Hurrying it. It would not be worth the Clinging, to prevent others from going about Life.

So yeah, maybe not like a mouse in a glue Trap... but more final. I'd take my Day like a Rat. And then Cremation, paid in advance. Do what you will with the Dust and finger prints.
