I Started Wondering Whether My Death would be a One-Off
Thrifty Words 100 Challenge #28: Twice

Death can be peaceful or it can be hell. I was thinking I wouldn’t want to die twice — when I suddenly realized that I had already died once — nearly two years ago from Covid 19. It was a near-death experience, not the permanently dead type. But my heart stopped and I’d stopped breathing.
I don’t fear death, so maybe I could handle it happening twice. I’m really not sure how much free will there is in the whole subject. Dying of covid wasn’t so bad — the virus made me very miserable to the point that it made dying acceptable.

Thank you readers. I’d give you more links or words but I’m going through some survival-level decision-making myself. I’ll catch up when I write my next article or essay.
