I remembered saying, "It's not supposed to hurt. The body was built to die just as it was built to live. It knows how to shar itself down. After all, we're just organs and brains and blood. Just piles of dust thrown together, which will one day be torn apart."
Evie nodded, taking another long drag of smoke. "I wonder what it feels like when we're just dust again."
