Harsh reality...

Occasionally, I see news articles about such and such a person complaining that video games are unrealistic about death. That people do not turn into shiny gold coins.

But...

As a very rare drop, I have a shiny gold coin. Or rather, a cheque for a shiny gold coin, bequeathed to me. It took a lot of work, mostly from my aunts.

A human being, 8 decades of life, and of memories, and what does it turn into in the end? A collection of shiny gold coins. That's all.

I'd trade any number of them to get my granny back. R.I.P.
