    Heart stops (or brain depending on how your dying), organs shut down, gases escape, and thus begins the wonderful process of decomposition...

    psychological boundaries come undone. you can no longer be identified as yourself anymore than the air let out of a balloon can be identified as the balloon. collapse of the illusion of individuality to become one with the universe.

    it's a nice way of thinking about it, anyway.

    It's pretty hard to explain seeing as no one has died and lived to tell about it.

    But yeah it's most likely Black but you don't see it your mind is pretty much dead so you can't process anything so your pretty much a rock if that makes it simpler.

    I think of it exactly like before you were born, nothingness.

    "You're dead," he said. Keli waited. She couldn't think of any suitable reply. "I'm not" lacked a certain style, while "Is it serious?" seemed somehow too frivolous.

    WAS THE ULTIMATE REALITY. I WAS THE ASSASSIN AGAINST WHOM NO LOCK
    WOULD HOLD.

    "I meant," said Iplsore bitterly, "what is there in this world that makes living worthwhile?" Death thought about it. "CATS," he said eventually, "CATS ARE NICE."

    PEOPLE'S WHOLE LIVES DO PASS IN FRONT OF THEIR EYES BEFORE THEY DIE. THE PROCESS IS CALLED 'LIVING'.
