Andy: Reflections
Many times I have read that when facing death your life moves before you, thousands of frames, your days unfurled from the reel of existence.
It is not true.
As I lay here, staring into the sun, my blood pooling beneath my back, my mind goes only to the memory of my tenth birthday. To my family gathered behind our home. To my relatives who came from other cities. To the many games we played.
Such joy I felt when the burqa-clad doll would burst, spilling forth its delightful candies and Koran verses.
Allahu akbar.
I go to my reward.

Piñatas stuffed with Quran verses. I assume that's part of the whole St. Patrick's Day celebration in China, just after eating latkes, but before doing a cakewalk to an Indian chant.
