Random Musings of a Dead Man — Part 3
I have thought long and hard about what to write in this third installment of ramblings and honestly, I have no idea where to go with it so maybe I will just discuss the origins of the octopus or even the true creation of religion. You name it, I have watched it unfold.

Final Memories
How do you describe a beauty so ethereal that it eclipses your every thought in captivating wonder? This is one of many thoughts swimming through the mind of Juliet as she stares in fascination at the Aurora Borealis above her. Lay on her back, deep in the snow she cursed her lack of concentration when pitching up the campsite on one of the snowy peaks in Norway. She had got so wrapped up in the picturesque scenery around her that she had forgotten to push the pegs in the tent properly before the strong nighttime winds lifted it into the darkness.

Random Musings of a Dead Man — Part 2
“Dave…. DAVE!…… DAAAAAVVVEEEEE!!!!” I love shouting his name. Although I do not even know if he is called Dave, like me, he is dead so he cannot even hear me. Why, I hear you ask, well, that is a difficult, “life” shattering theory to explain so maybe one day I will be bothered to elaborate on it and let you know. I will say this though, they used to be able to hear me.

My Unmovable Life
Time. The unforgiving force that ceaselessly barrages me with every waking moment. My bones ache as they fracture and splinter into tiny pieces that scatter in the wind. A long time ago, I stood tall and proud. Magnificent in structure like a god amongst the tiny blades of grass in this field. Now my skin slowly peels away as rot seeps deep into my body.

Random Musings of a Dead Man - Part 1
Take a moment to close your eyes. Imagine you are in the heart of a thick dense forest and take a deep breath in through your nose. Can you smell that earthy scent of life along with the sweet smell of the berries from the palm trees mixed with a delicate fragrance from the Rafflesia flower? I would be very surprised if you could, as you were supposed to close your eyes at the start of this so how you have carried on reading will forever be a mystery.
