End Of An Era

The lease on my apartment is up next month, and I have decided no to renew it. I need a change- it's time to move on. I got out of my job at the morgue, don't ask me how. I figured I was going to have to be on the slab myself before Dr. K gave me up. But he was awesome about it. After stopping by work this morning I went over to the mortuary and spent a bulk of my time in my old roll. Perfecting the dead is something, one of the only things, I am content doing. There is an opening at one of the mortuaries in Georgetown, KY. I am interviewing there tomorrow, and if I get the job I will then go exploring for a place to live.

Something clicked in my brain today as I was draining a dead mans fluids. I never have thought about death before. Not really. I have always been around it, yet it has never crossed my mind that one day I will die. Odd seeing as how I have put myself in many situations where I probably should have died- but until today it never crossed my mind. It wasn't an in depth thought. I didn't dwell on it. I was just the sudden realization that death is a given, and in my situation, it will probably happen sooner rather than later. I am at peace with it.
