:53:01
I was in there cleaning it up so I
decided I'd do a little experiment.
:53:06
You know, so I got all this stuff out
and began mixing it up,
:53:10
it was very scientific!
:53:14
There was this massive explosion.
:53:17
It knocked me down,
blew out a huge hole in the floor.
:53:20
There was boards and bricks
and flames leaping up.
:53:25
I figured, you know... time to leave.
:53:29
My career in school was over.
:53:33
So... I went home.
:53:36
My mother was a giving a party so
I went up the back stairs to my room.
:53:42
Turned out the light and...
I got this funny feeling.
:53:48
The doorbell rang.
I went out to the banister
:53:52
and these two policemen came in,
:53:54
found my mother... and... told her
:54:00
that I was killed in the fire.
:54:03
She put one hand up to her forehead,
:54:07
the other one she reached out
as if groping for support,
:54:11
and with this long sigh,
:54:14
she collapsed in their arms.
:54:45
I decided right then
that I enjoyed being dead.
:54:51
I understand.
A lot of people enjoy being dead
:54:56
but they're not dead really.
:54:58
They're just backing away from life.
